Bahá’í Children's classes in Redlands take place on Sunday afternoons. The classes for children from 2 to 11 years 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.
“Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit there from.” — Bahá’í Writings
These “gems” are the spiritual qualities that are latent in the soul of every person. Our neighbourhood children’s classes help children to discover and polish these gems from an early age and apply what they learn to everyday life. We use songs, co-operative games and craft to reinforce these spiritual qualities.
The object of Bahá’í children's education is to allow children to develop virtues, such as compassion, friendliness, justice, respect, and consideration. Baha'i education helps children to develop the knowledge and wisdom to protect themselves from the destructive influence of racial, religious and national prejudice Children from all religious backgrounds are welcome to participate in this program. Parents are also welcome to attend.
Bahá’í Children's Education teachers are certified under the Bahá’í Child Protection Policy. This certification requires mandatory police checks.
