Children's Education Saint Luke's is home for all ages and provides a number of programs designed for the care and nurture of children in the various stages of spiritual, emotional, and physical development. Each classroom is designed to be a safe and nurturing environment, and all caregivers must first complete extensive screening and training in child care and safety.
Children begin the service seated with their parents or guardians.
During the music following the opening sentences of the service, the children follow the clergy cross to the Children's Chapel where they participate in singing, prayer, a brief children's sermon, and worship. They return to the service about thirty minutes later during the Peace. This experience offers children a unique opportunity to begin learning both the Christian story and the Episcopal style of worship in a special way. Classes for children three years old through sixth grade use the Episcopal Children's Curriculum, which integrates Bible-based study within the Episcopal tradition. Preschool Saint Luke's hosts and sponsors an extensive Mother's Day Out program for hundreds of children aged five months through four years.
