Godly Play Ages Pre-Kindergarten - Grade 5

 
For children ages 3 to grade 4 we will once again offer Godly Play. Godly Play is a formation approach that helps children explore their faith through story, to gain religious language and to enhance their spiritual experience through wonder and play. It is based on Montessori principles and development using a spiral curriculum that serves children through early, middle and late childhood. Their experience includes listening and watching a 'sacred story' told by a trained storyteller, spending time in thought and wonder and then proceeding to 'work time' within the classroom with access to all the story materials and beyond. The group comes together for feast before dismissal that purposefully mimics the Eucharistic experience in church.
