Spirit Play is a Unitarian Universalist program for our little ones that was created based on the Montessori model of learning. This learning model uses story, play and creativity. Spirit Play seeks to engage children in questions about life within the context of our Unitarian Universalist faith through our principles and sources. They are presented using an active storytelling method followed by a “wondering” time that opens up the child’s response to the story enabling the child to respond to the story with art materials.
Currently, we have a bumper crop of little ones registered for Spirit Play ranging from preK thru Grade 1. It is such a large class that we have moved our Nursery Supervisor Beni Crespo into Spirit Play to assist our Spirit Play teachers which leaves our Nursery down one staff person. If you can volunteer in the nursery during service from time to time please contact Jeanne Nametz at usr.dre1@gmail.com and the next time you are downstairs check out our interactive UU principles and sources bulletin boards!
