A digital catechetical program for children as young as five aims to equip early learners with Thomistic principles that will help them understand and defend their faith as they grow.
"I think in a lot of curricula, it's difficult to teach the complexities of the Catholic faith and in such a way that is entertaining and interesting for young children," said TJ Burdick, founder and director of Tiny Thomists.
"I think the sooner you can ingrain the truths of the Catholic faith into your children, the longer they will last and the more loyal they will be to the Catholic Church because they've experienced it intimately with their family."
With four children of his own, Burdick started developing the curriculum for his eldest daughter in 2016. Having seen the success for his family and an interest from other families in the local Catholic community, he decided to open the catechetical program to the public in January 2017.
