children's classes

The aim of Bahá’í children’s classes is to nurture the tender hearts and minds of children by helping them to develop spiritual qualities and the habits of behaviours that constitute the essential attributes of a spiritual being. The classes are for children aged between 5 to 11 provide an opportunity for children to develop virtues, such as compassion, friendliness, justice, respect, and consideration through stories, craft and co-operative games, and participate in service projects. 

The Baha’i Writings describe children as “….as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.”

These “gems” are the spiritual qualities that are latent in the soul of every person. Our neighborhood children’s classes help children to discover and polish these gems from an early age and apply what they learn to everyday life. They use songs and prayer, co-operative games, memorization of quotes, and craft to reinforce these spiritual qualities.

Bahá’í Children’s Education teachers are certified under the Bahá’í Child Protection Policy.  This certification requires mandatory police checks.
