Secular Ethical Education for Kids
SEEK CLASSES WILL RESUME SEPTEMBER 2020
We nurture the ethical development of children and their understanding of themselves and the world around them. We believe that our children should be active participants in their learning through stories, multi-media, crafts, experiments, movement, and discussion as they explore our core values.
Register your child(ren) for Sunday SEEK by submitting the form below.
