Fairfax Presbyterian Church Preschool, Fairfax Virginia

Church School for Children
and Youth

Church school is held on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., beginning the first Sunday after Labor Day through early June.

Summer Sunday School

Summer Sunday School will be held for rising Kindergartners up to fifth graders. The children are dismissed to their classes after the Conversation with Children. They gather downstairs in the Great Explorations wing in room 135.

Summer Sunday School is a great chance for anyone and everyone who enjoys lively fun with young children to get involved in teaching our youngsters in a relaxed, no-stress environment. Imagine yourself teaching a class of elementary children one sunny summer Sunday morning. You don’t have to be a professional to teach these fun classes. The curriculum is user friendly and adaptable for many ages. Classes are informal with fun craft and game activities. Lessons and resources are available to make the job easy.

Summer Sunday School also provides opportunities for our youth to collect service hours teaching a class with friend.

Sign up on the teaching list posted just outside the GE wing today or contact one of the Christian Education Ministry leaders soon:

During Worship Services

Nursery (6 weeks up to 3 years), Room 245.
Childcare is available from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. for infants to three year olds.

Children ages 3 1/2 to 5 years old are dismissed from worship after the Conversation with Children for an hour of play, stories and unstructured fun.

Godly Play - Room 243.

During the 8:45 am Worship Service (except the 4th Sunday of the month), children ages Kindergarten through 3rd grade are dismissed after the Conversation with Children for Godly Play in the Children's Worship Center.

Godly Play II - Room 234.

During the 8:45 am Worship Service children in 4th and 5th grade are dismissed on the first, third, and fifth Sundays of the month after the Conversation with Chidren to Godly Play II.

In Godly Play 1 and II, storytelling, art, music, and other activities enable children to encounter God using all the senses. They learn to use religious language through experiencing the parables, sacred stories from the Old and New Testaments, silence, and liturgical action. The children affirm the mystery of God's presence in their lives and are encouraged -- through "wondering" -- to relate parables and Biblical stories to their personal experience. The godly Play worship incorporates the elements of greeting, hymn singing, experiencing the Word through storytelling and response, reading Scripture, prayers, and benedication. Through Godly Play worship, children's faith and spiritual development are nurtured and their own innate relationship with God is affirmed and encouraged.
