Enhanced Learning Activities
Are you deeply invested in nurturing your preschooler’s spiritual understanding and relationship with God? Establishing a firm foundation for young children regarding who God is can be incredibly beneficial and sometimes overwhelming.
Importance Of A Firm Foundation

• Understanding Identity: Teaching your child that they are part of God’s plan helps them build a positive self-image and understand their place in the world.

• Scriptural Engagement: Incorporating Bible verses like Jeremiah 29:11 can provide comfort and assurance that they are loved and have a purpose.
​
• Strengthening Faith: Early interactions with biblical teachings can foster a trusting relationship with Jesus, encouraging them to develop faith as they grow.​​
