Children and Youth Education Programs
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Los Gatos has a vibrant and growing religious education program for children and youth.
We want our children to develop a strong sense of personal values and to feel confident in expressing and acting upon them. Our religious education program for children and youth teaches ethical living, our Unitarian Universalist principles and heritage, and explores many of the religions of the world.
Sunday Morning Schedule
Childcare for ages 1-5 is available in our preschool room during the Sunday Service. Our experienced staff reads stories, plays, and creates fun projects with the children in this room from 10:15am until noon.
Older children and youth sit with the larger gathered community during the first fifteen minutes of the service. Following the children’s story their teachers lead them to their classes. Our time in the classroom each Sunday includes a gathering circle - a time for stories, singing and sharing - followed by the weekly curriculum, age-appropriate activities and a snack. We'll be using the "Adding Assets for Kids" as our curriculum throughout the year. To learn more about this wonderful resource, please see: http://www.search-institute.org/assets/.
We provide supervised playtime for the children in the outdoor playground or the preschool room during social time after the service, from11:30 until noon.
Registration
Our religious education program is open to members, friends, and visitors of the Fellowship. There is no standard fee for your child(ren) to participate in our religious education program (although some classes may ask payment for materials). The program is a cooperative depending on parents to assist the paid staff in the classroom once a month.
We ask parents to register any children they entrust to the care of the Fellowship, and to pick them up and sign them out after the end of service or social time.
You may download and print a Religious Education RegistrationPDF Form here. Please bring the completed and signed form with you on Sunday morning.
