As a servant in Kiddie Kingdom (KK), I have witnessed how values formation meets fun and how children’s hearts are shaped not just to believe, but to live with kindness, respect, and purpose.
KK is a ministry designed for children, where the seeds of faith are planted in children as young as 5 years old. More than just learning prayers and Catholic teachings, kids in KK are taught to live out their faith through compassion, good manners, and everyday responsibility.
Indigent children from Muntinlupa areas like Espeleta, Pantalan, Planas, Tensuan, and La Guerta come together twice a month (every 1st and 2nd Saturday) at St. Therese Chapel for these joyful sessions. Despite their different backgrounds, they find common ground in laughter, learning, and love. This is a true reflection of what community means in God’s family.
Every KK session follows an engaging and meaningful structure. It begins with an opening prayer, helping the children center themselves and feel God’s presence. Then comes an energizing praise dance that gets everyone moving and smiling.
The heart of each session is a values-based lesson inspired by Catholic teachings. Children are encouraged to participate and earn “stars” for answering questions and being actively involved. Later, they can exchange their stars for toys and small prizes generously donated by caring sponsors.
Every KK session includes a nourishing meal, ensuring that kids are filled not just spiritually but also physically. A final round of joyful dancing wraps up each session, sending every child home with a full belly, a happy heart, and a mind enriched with values.
Throughout the year, special activities add color and excitement to the regular KK program. One of the most anticipated is the Pamaskong Pambata, a festive Christmas celebration filled with games, performances, gifts, and laughter. It is a magical time that many children and their families look forward to.
The success of Kiddie Kingdom lies in the dedication of its volunteers and leaders of the Servants of Jesus Community (SOJC). Various Area Coordinators manage logistics and the safety of the kids coming from their respective areas. Dance Animators bring the energy, leading children in dance and helping them stay engaged. The Ministry Heads oversee the entire program and ensure that every detail from lesson plans to meal distribution is done with love.
In short, Kiddie Kingdom is a special place where kids are guided in both their faith and personal growth. Through fun activities, loving leaders, and a strong focus on values, KK helps children become better individuals – faithful, kind, and ready to face the world with love in their hearts.
