Welcome to Religious Education Programs at UUCiL

Tender Loving Care for your Young Child (up to age 5) is provided by our wonderful caregivers, in the Starr King Building. Child Care is available from 10:15am until 12 noon every Sunday morning. Your child is also welcome in the Sanctuary.

Kindergarteners through 6th graders and their families are invited to stay for the first part of the service in the Sanctuary. The children leave for their classes after “A Time for All Ages”. Parents of young children should walk with them to their classroom.

Our 7th-9th Graders & High School Groups meet in the Tot Green Building at 10:30am each Sunday. This year the 7-9th graders are in a closed group covering the "Our Whole Lives" Sexuality Curriculum. The High School Group starts with a meditation and chalice lighting. This group occasionally schedules off-site activities.

Where are Classes Held?

  • The Nursery/Preschool meets in the Starr King Building.
  • Grades K-1 meet in Classroom "A" in the Founders Building.
  • Grades 2-3 meet in Classroom "B" in the Founder's Building.

After Class:Children under the age of nine must be picked up after class by their parents. Please arrive promptly, so that our volunteer teacher may have time for coffee and fellowship.
