Program Year Schedule and Information (September through May)
Nursery Care Staffed child care is provided for young children in our dedicated nursery during every worship service. Parents are asked to bring their well infant or toddler to the nursery several minutes before the beginning of a scheduled worship. We endeavor to provide young children with a warm, accepting, and safe space in which to become acquainted with our faith community. Every effort is made to assure that children are content and engaged during the time their parents are in worship. Parents will be notified if their presence is needed for the welfare of their child by a pager system. This Montessori based curriculum was created especially for liberal faith traditions. We have adapted the curriculum to discuss the Sources of the UU faith. There is ritual in the classroom which allows for the young children to hear and experience a story, as well as choose appropriate work based on the story. Some of the work may include painting, play-doh, role playing, drawing, etc.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade This experiential based program allows the young people to explore the UU Sources as a starting point for examining the roots of their UU identity. Each class will include ritual, stories, an active game and an opportunity for hands on learning.
4th and 5th grade This curriculum is a fun and unique way for those who participate to begin exploring the UU Sources, or the roots of our faith. The young people will experience similar rituals to the ones held in the adult service, storytelling, active games and science or art based projects.
