Why It Matters
A steady ground to grow on.
Children absorb far more than words. A weekly hour and a half in a quiet, friendly space — sitting still for a few minutes, hearing the Buddha’s stories, talking honestly about kindness — shapes something in them that lasts.
The monks teach in plain language, matched to the age of the child. Older youth are given more to chew on. Younger children are met with gentleness and play.
Practicalities
A gentle first Sunday.
Parents
Welcome to stay
You’re free to sit in during class, wait in the hall, or join the adult programs offered later in the day.
What to Bring
Just themselves
No books or supplies needed. Modest, comfortable clothing is ideal for the shrine room.
How to Join
Bring them along on any Sunday.
No registration or prior experience is needed. Arrive a few minutes before 9:00 AM on your first visit and a monk or volunteer will greet you and help your children settle in. If you’d like to get in touch first, we’re happy to answer questions.
