Nursery & Preschool Curriculum: Brite

(beginning August 3rd)

Brite is a Bible-centered discipleship-focused curriculum. It's grounded in scripture, and whether from the old testament or new testament each lesson points to Jesus.

Our mission on Sunday mornings is to help every child feel like they BELONG to God and His kingdom, BELIEVE in Jesus as our Savior and BECOME like Him by walking in His Ways.

Look for resources in the classroom to help you talk to your child about what they learn in class each week.

Nursery, Walker, & Explorers Additional Information:

Luciana Carvalho - Nursery Coordinator - lcarvalho@cccolumbus.org

Emily Gloeckner - Early Childhood Director - emily@cccolumbus.org

Your infant starts off in the Nursery, where there are swings, cribs, toys, and space for crawling around. Once your child turns one, begins to pull up and show signs of walking, Emily or Luciana will reach out to you about the best time to move into the Walkers class.

In the Walkers class, your child has access to age-appropriate toys and activities, a short Bible lesson, a snack, and worship through song. Your child will then move into the Explorers room at the start of the quarter after they turn 2. Our quarters start in December, March, June, & September. For example, if your child turns 2 in October, they will move into the Explorers room on the first Sunday of December. An email will be sent to you before the start of the quarter if your child will be moving into a new class.

Aimee Nguyen - Preschool Coordinator - aimee@cccolumbus.org

Emily Gloeckner - Early Childhood Director - emily@cccolumbus.org

The Preschool Coordinator is Aimee Nguyen. Preschool classes have longer lesson times than the Nursery classes, including worship and quiet time. Kids participate in activities that reinforce the Bible lesson and encourage thinking beyond the classroom. Snack is still provided for these youngsters, but they will no longer visit the indoor playground during class time as they have engaging games, crafts and activities in their classroom.

This is a wonderful opportunity to get connected to other moms going through some of the same joys and struggles that you are. The moms meetings are about every other week, with the off weeks being either a drop off time for just your child(ren) or a playdate. We would love to have you join us at our meetings from 9-11am as we support one another. Registration and a minimal fee to cover materials and childcare costs are required.
