Children's Classes

Children’s classes (ages 5–11) are for all of the community’s children. They provide the early seeds of moral and spiritual education and introduce the idea of equality of all people at an early age. They help children discover and strengthen their inherent spiritual qualities like kindness, patience and generosity through stories, songs, prayers and art.
