We offer programs starting at age 3 and continuing through grade 12. (Nursery care is provided every Sunday for children under three.)

RE Programs for Children
For Pre-School and Kindergarten children, our curriculum is called “Chalice Children”. It introduces the basic ideas of UU through fun activities, stories and songs.
Our grade school curriculum consists of four units, or “pillars”.

• Unitarian Universalism: explores the 7 UU Principles, and the history and traditions of UU.
• Jewish and Christian Traditions: explores the cultural heritage from the Old and New Testaments.
• World Religion: explores religious traditions outside the Judeo-Christian view.
• Social Justice & Action: explores how religion addresses real world problems.

These subjects rotate through the regular RE year (September through June) and are explored from many creative angles.

RE Programs for Youth
Our Junior High (JRUU) and High School (YRUU) programs are youth groups that are largely directed by the interests of the youths, with the teachers acting in an advisory role. They take on various projects based on the interests and abilities in the groups. This provides opportunities for the group members to develop responsibility and leadership.

Summer Program
During the RE “off-season” we offer a fun program for the RE kids to meet together in the core area. Students enjoy activities such as stories, art, music, drama, food or dance.

Other Intergenerational Activities Offered by RE
Throughout the year, the RE committee sponsors a number of fun activities for families and kids. These include family camping trips, dances, parent discussion groups, sing-a-longs, social action activities, holiday parties, sleepovers for kids and youth, and children and youth camps at DeBenneville Pines (the UU camp near Big Bear).
