"Children are the most precious treasure a community can possess, for in them are the promise and guarantee of the future." - Baha'i Writings





"O Thou kind Lord! These lovely children are the handiwork of the fingers of Thy might and the wondrous signs of Thy greatness.

O God! Protect these children, graciously assist them to be educated and enable them to render service to the world of humanity.

O God! These children are pearls, cause them to be nurtured within the shell of Thy loving-kindness.

Thou art the Bountiful, the All-Loving." - 'Abdú'l-Bahá



Our Children's Classes

* You are warmly invited to bring your children (ages 4-7 and ages 8-10) and junior youth (ages 10-14) to our regularly held children's classes, and junior youth gatherings in our area. These classes are based on virtues, moral principles, religious history and addressing in a positive way the challenges of the world, and taught by teachers of good character and suitable experience.

Also, here is a good link to the educative programs and materials used by the Baha'i community world-wide, whether for junior youth, children, youth, or adults: http://www.ruhi.org/materials/list.php#

Linda Popov, our friend from the South Pacific, who lived on Salt Spring Island for years, has presented many workshops here and around the world on "Raising Kind Kids" which are well-attended by many young mothers and teachers who enthusiastically embrace the language of virtues and the strategies shared to bring them out in our children.

Linda Kavelin Popov is a psychotherapist, author, and co-Founder of The Virtues Project, an initiative to inspire the practice of virtues in everyday life. The Project was honored by the United Nations as a model global program for all cultures. Linda is the author of the international best seller The Family Virtues Guide, (Penguin 1997) and The Virtues Project Educator’s Guide.
