Lifespan Learning in our Unitarian congregation goes beyond traditional education. It’s about fostering a culture of curiosity, respect, and the joy of learning throughout every stage of life. From the youngest children to our elders, everyone has a role to play in this enriching journey. We offer families age-appropriate programs for children that encourage them to discover their values, understand the beliefs of others, learn how to make a difference, and have fun.
Children & Family
Sundays are just the beginning
Families growing together
“It takes a village to raise a child.”
This African proverb reminds us that an entire community must interact with children for those children to grow up healthy and confident. Many families have found that village at Neighbourhood. We offer engaging and age-appropriate programs that nurture our children’s innate sense of wonder. Through storytelling, arts and crafts, and interactive discussions, we encourage them to explore their spirituality, values, and the world around them.
Connect
Build true friendships, while your children play, interact, learn, and grow through fun activities and carefully designed children’s programs. Explore thoughts and emotions in a welcoming and safe environment. Enjoy art and music. Laugh and sometimes cry at the pain and joy of life.
Find a helpful hand, someone to listen, a shoulder to cry on – when you need it most.
