The purpose of Bahá'í Children's Classes is to aid children to acquire spiritual qualities, and a praiseworthy character.
Lessons offer knowledge and activities that develop thinking, positive attitudes, creativity, and skills that contribute to the peace and harmony of the world.
We invite you to join us in our programs for children's education and development of the human spirit. Bahá'í children's classes are offered to all children between the ages of 5-15.
Education of children is viewed as one of the most important and meritorious of all services, for children represent the future of the community.
Bahá'í Principles on Education
"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."
" All humans are created noble. Each child is a unique creation of God, endowed with his or her talents and capacities.
" All children in the world should be given the opportunity to learn about their true nature.
" Each child has the capacity to develop spiritually and to attain their potential.
" Without education, the child's potential will remain latent; the child will remain ignorant and acquire an unruly character.
" Teachers should instruct children with an attitude of love, understanding, and respect honoring the nobility of each child.
" Much of the art of teaching consists in knowing how to guide each child so that his or her behavior contributes to a joyful and disciplined leaning atmosphere.
