Care is provided by parents as well as other capable adult and youth volunteers. Top Young children are encouraged to learn how to play and work cooperatively, express their feelings about themselves and others, see congregations as places for making and caring about friends, appreciate how we are all alike yet different, view nature as a source of gifts that needs our care, and celebrate the different religions and cultures of the world. Rather than curriculum-directed activities and discussions, the interests and concerns of our junior youth supply the material for projects and topics for discussion and exploration. Students are encouraged to articulate and act on personal beliefs and values in a climate of mutual respect and cooperation.

Students attend the religious education class planned for their particular grade level.
This eliminates confusion, facilitates short and long range planning, and increases the likelihood of each child benefiting from age-appropriate curricula and peer interactions. Friends of children are welcome. Every family contributes to the religious education program. Best of all, when we all contribute, no one person feels overburdened and our children benefit from getting to know many caring Unitarian Universalists. An atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation is expected.
