Program Description
Kingdom Kids uses “Allelu!” by Our Sunday Visitor for Kindergarten and “Finding God: Our Response to God’s Gifts” for 1st-5th grade. Both curricula integrate fundamental themes of the Catechism of the Catholic Church with Scripture and Catholic Social Teaching. As children are introduced to, and revisit concepts and vocabulary from one year to the next, their knowledge and experience both broaden and deepen as they grow in faith as committed disciples of Jesus. Our time together includes hands on learning through activities such as art projects, music, church tours, and more. Students in second grade who enroll in Kingdom Kids will prepare for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.
