The Childcare Space at UUCW (0-3 years)

Spirit Play (pre-k and k)

This montessori-based classroom introduces our young children to the classroom setting. Spirit Play seeks to engage children in the existential questions about life within the context of the Unitarian Universalist faith. Stories are presented dealing with these questions accessing our broad base of sources. They are presented using an active storytelling method followed by a “wondering” time that opens up the child’s response to the story, then the child is free to work directly with that story or another, or to respond to the story or to his or her feelings with art materials.

Explorers (grades 1-4)

Using materials from Soul Matters and UU curricula, children explore theme topics such as inclusion, trust, joy, imagination, and freedom and how it relates to our UU faith. Each week’s gathering includes a chalice lighting, check-in, story, discussion, activity, and closing words. We encourage children to explore their own big questions. All of our programming aligns with the shared values recognized by Unitarian Universalists, all of which are centered in love.

Questing Year/Neighboring Faiths (grades 6-7)

Questing Year is a class which prepares older children for their Coming of Age year which will happen in 2025/26. The class focuses on group building, UU identity, as well as a study of the other faiths that surround us in our community and our world.
