Celebrating Me and My World: A Unitarian Universalist Preschool Curriculum by Debora Chandler Pratt. This full-year curriculum celebrates the wondrous qualities of children and the animals, objects, and people around them. Provides preschoolers with experiences and opportunities to grow in trust and caring and to develop their self-identity and sense of connectedness with all of life.

Primary
Holidays and Holy Days A Whole Year of Celebrations. In this program, participants learn about the origins and meanings of holiday and holy day celebrations. The authors state, “Holidays are the natural, age-old vehicle of religious socialization. Their festivities tell a story which children absorb with delight, through experiences far more than through words. Decorations, colors, costumes, dances, lights, songs, foods, festivity, gifts, excitement, pageantry, solemnity, ceremony, and ritual: it is of these that tradition is woven, that memories, beliefs, values, fears, hopes, and reverence are transmitted. A holiday is not something to talk about . . . it’s something to DO.” The program is divided into three calendar sections: fall, winter, and spring.
Stepping Stone Year A Program for Eight-to-Ten Year Olds This program is based on the premise that religion helps people find answers to important life questions and that a religious community can help people in their search for answers. Units include Beginning Myths, Stories Science Tells Us, The Wonder of Birth, Adventures of Our People (American, Canadian, and English UUs), Wonderings About Death, and Making Decisions.

We covenant to affirm and promote:
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to
spiritual growth in our congregation.
