Spiritual Development for young children is a process that points them to God. It is teaching them who God is, how they can worship and praise Him, and how much He loves them.
📖 The Light 🔆 Programme uses this portion of Book of God to further learn more about Jesus and also be able to relate their own personal growth with what of Jesus physically, socially and spiritually. This portion is to enlighten the children as they learn more and understand the qualities of Jesus as a friend, as a God and the recognition of our need for Him as our life.
