Children’s ProgramSchedule
Description If you are interested in the kids program, please contact Kathleen at (kathleen.benz85 at gmail.com). We request that you consider committing to bringing your child a minimum of two Sundays per month. Parents must be present at the dharma center for their children to participate. The program serves a maximum of nine children at this time.
Dharma Daycare This program is offered in partnership with the KCC Children's program. The daycare is offered primarily for children birth to three years who are too young to enter the Children's program. It is also offered to children of all ages who do not come consistently enough to be part of the Children's program. The purpose of the daycare is to support families in their practice by embracing their children's presence at KCC. The daycare provides children a place of belonging in a spiritual community as well as an opportunity for familiarity and comfort to develop before entering the Children's program. Dharma Daycare has no set Buddhist curriculum. Exposure to stories with Buddhist themes and simple activities to cultivate awareness may be introduced when appropriate. Kindness, cooperation, caring, respect, and responsibility to community are all values of the daycare. We emphasis working together, caring for the Center and celebrating the natural world. Art projects, neighborhood walks, story times and play, with developmentally appropriate toys, are some of the common activities of the daycare. Dharma Daycare is coordinated by Susan Giese. Please contact Susan at (sheg46 at hotmail.com) with any questions, comments, or to volunteer.
