Godly Play for 4yr. old -2nd Grade
3rd Floor – Room 325
Our approach to spiritual guidance for 4yr old-2nd grade is Godly Play. In the Godly Play classroom the children become aware of their part in God’s Kingdom through story, liturgy, and joy. Godly Play offers a creative, child-honoring way of entering into and experiencing the Biblical story. The children play with the language of God and God’s People and listen to sacred stories and parables.
