- a child-centered place that nurtures their growth - actively, playing, engaging and comforting them according to their needs;
- a place where we are informed of the needs of you and your child, such as how you believe we can ease the separation process; and
- a place where you are welcome and encouraged to stay with your child until you feel comfortable leaving.
This curriculum is a method of Christian education and spiritual direction for children. The goal of Godly Play is to teach our children the art of using religious language -- parable, sacred story, silence, and liturgical action -- to help them become more fully aware of the mystery of God's presence in their lives. Godly Play is unusual in that we tell Bible stories to children using concrete materials, encouraging them to enter into the stories and relate them to their personal experience. Each class session follows the pattern of the Church's Sunday service, so children will have a deeper understanding and enjoy a fuller participation in our parish worship.

Our elementary curriculum is based on Seasons of the Spirit, a lectionary-based resource created by an international team of writers and editors representing denominations from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, and the UK. We feel this curriculum provides a theological foundation for our young people to empower them to be transformed in Christ by:
- exploring meaning and mystery in the Bible;
- being grounded in thoughtful theology;
- empowering children, youth, and adults to be transformed in Christ;
- inspiring and equipping leaders;
- nurturing the imaginative spirit; and
- integrating worship, learning, and serving ministries.
