Who we are and what we believe

Foundations is a toddler through Kindergarten, Sunday school curriculum created to introduce and reinforce the basic tenants of the Christian faith.  It is a one-year, spiraled; educational curriculum that focuses on teaching children basic facts, verses, belief systems, and habits which creates a rock solid foundation for future learning.

Developed by educators, Foundations uses simple, natural processes that are age appropriate and easily teachable.  It finds its roots in basic, child-centered activities with ample repetition and reinforcement. 

It also creates a link between the Sunday school experience and Parents: giving them direction and support to foster spiritual growth in their child at home. The connection between church and parent makes Foundations a unique and effective program that firmly prepares children to experience Christ, Christianity, and future Christian teachings.

The Basics

Foundations focuses on 12 Topics that comprise the basic tenants of the Christian Faith.  These topics can be taught in a specific recommended order, or they can be adjusted to accommodate existing church programs.

The twelve topics comprise one year of study, which is meant to be repeated throughout the preschool years. 

The curriculum works for children as young as toddlers up through age six. It can be used in individually assigned classrooms, or in a multi-age setting.

The Topics are as follows:
