In the Children's Room the child  is honored, nurtured,  and given a place for experiential activity,  reflection, and expression of their religious instincts. 
The prepeared environment is one that supports the child's natural inclination to be in relationship with God and the child's way of being.

The Children's Room supports the child’s natural rhythm of movement as the children are free to move in a purposeful way.
