Learning About God

This is the first part of a syllabus designed for 3-5 year olds—children who are not yet at school. The aim of ‘Learning about God’ is to provide simple lessons for children which help them learn foundational truths about God and how they can relate to him. Children are taught about the great and wonderful God who made and loves them. They are introduced to the Bible as God's book, and Jesus as God's son.
