A virtues program, appropriate to the different ages and development of the children, emphasizes the personal qualities that enable us to make the presence of Christ real in our daily lives and interactions. In addition, the daily behavior and exhortations of the staff are oriented towards modeling Christ-like behavior, and to actively encouraging and guiding children to “do what Jesus would do.” Gospel maxims can serve as a reference point to help the child reflect on his personal actions in light of Christ’s teachings.
