Baha’i children’s classes aim to nurture the hearts and minds of children. The emphasis of these classes is on helping children to learn to reflect on and apply spiritual principles, such as love, unity, truthfulness, justice… to their own lives. The classes also seek to inspire in children a love of God and His Messengers, and of humanity in all its diversity. As it says in one of their lessons about love : “God’s love shines on us like rays of the sun. It shines on everyone regardless of our background. So we can reflect that light by being loving to everyone.” They study this concept of love through quotations like; “O Friend! In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love”. They also learn it through a story, games and songs.
The classes in spiritual education of children inspire children to be active participants instead of passive recipients of knowledge. They empower the children to reveal the qualities and virtues they have been given by God.
"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 therefrom." Baha’u’llah
The classes are usually conducted weekly and they include: short lessons, activities to build friendship, games, stories, art and music .
All children are welcome to join the classes!
