3-and-a-half to 5-year-olds (pre K)

Chalice Children is based on the philosophy that a preschooler’s spiritual development is related to their own direct experiences. Through dramatic play, exploration, creative expression and interactions with others, children come to know their church as a community of people who come together in a sacred, special place, and their world as a place of wonder.

Our morning program includes a friendship circle, story, music, chalice prayer ritual and a snack. Theme-based activities and crafts are provided, as well as interest centers where children may explore and participate as they choose. They also have access to a wonderful outdoor play space when weather permits.

Parents should plan to participate in the classroom and provide snacks at least four times during the year.
