Nursery Program We provide a supervised nursery program with paid staff to care for your children 0-4 years old during the entire service, should that be of interest to you. Children are also welcome to stay with you during service, should you prefer. Books, games, toys and snacks are provided for your little one. If you are attending for the first time please fill out an information form available from the nursery staff to alert us to any allergies or other information to help us better care for your child. "A child can ask questions that a wise man cannot answer." Author Unknown "Children are the living messages that we send to a time we may not see" Neil Postman Children's Program (4-8 years old) Join our spiritual educator, Jane, for fun, games, crafts and creative learning as we support the space for growth and discovery in the children attending programs at our community. Children begin upstairs in the Sanctuary and then are invited to join Jane downstairs for snack, craft and learning on various topics. This year we are exploring world religions, symbols and traditions! Regardless of the theme of the morning, each gathering begins with a lighting of the chalice, songs, a discussion on one of our 7 principles, and space to share the "glads" and "sads" of the past week. Connecting among peers, an atmosphere of acceptance and collaboration as well as space for individual creativity support each child in feeling connected and valued.
