The Chalice Children (ages 3 – 5)
Our Chalice Children enjoy using the wonderful space at The Playhouse. Our teacher creates hands-on learning activities that draw in the kids to explore and participate in our lessons. The group begins by having a gathering circle, then moves on to a craft or movement activity and finishes with a healthy snack. Our curriculum is based on the Seven UU Principles. We have one teacher and one adult helper at each class.   ​
Helping Hands pic
The Helping Hands (ages 6 – 8)
Children leave the service around 11:20 a.m. and follow our teacher to the classroom in the upstairs of the Founder's House (the larger classroom). We engage children in activities and discussions to help them become aware of who they are as Unitarian Universalists and the principles that inspire us. We also have games, stories, puppet shows and activities that build community and fellowship. The children take on responsibilities and participate in the fellowship activities in meaningful ways.

​Spirit2aliT & F8th (ages 9 - 11)
This group will be examining our word through the lens of film -- Our Popcorn Theology curriculum explores life's lessons and choices through movies! Our teachers are excited to challenge our youth to navigate their faith through viewing short clips, engaging in discussion & thought and by working together. This group takes the lead on many of our Youth lead programs throughout the year; Valentine's Day Performance for our friends at Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living, Earth Day Performances & our always loved Holiday Pageant.
YoUUth Pic
​YoUUth  (grades 7-12th)
Our YoUUth students leave the service at 11:20 a.m. and explore themes such as religious and spiritual traditions such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Native American, Buddhism, etc. along with what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist as a teen. In past years, this class has worked on the BUUF Story Corps Documentary Project, an oral history of our Fellowship members and their participation in social justice issues. The enjoy exploring others and themselves as they relate to the world. World religions is often an area they explore. They are also committed to community service learning.
