This site is BY teachers, and FOR teachers of young children, ages 6 weeks to 5 years. Our goal is to make your weekly planning both exciting and easy. Use the growing range of resources here to develop your weekly plan, print it out for use in your classroom, and save it in your own “Folder” for future reference.

Start with Jesus, and His story.
Help children to find themselves in the story of Jesus.
Take them on a journey of discovery:
Who are you, Lord?
Who am I, Lord?
What do you do for me, Lord?
What can I do for you, Lord?
