Ethics for Children

Our mission as a school community is to promote ethical behavior through educational experiences, including social activism, so that students will be good world citizens in the broadest sense, will be fulfilled, and will contribute to making the world a better place.

Every Sunday that NoVES meets, we either have Sunday School or an intergenerational program.

Children start each Platform meeting in the auditorium with the adults, and most children (of all ages!) enjoy our weekly children's story. After the story, teachers and children leave the auditorium for Sunday School in other rooms in the building.

Family Listening Room 

A room with comfortable chairs for adults, a carpeted play space for children, and audio access to the platform presentation and discussion is available every week, so parents of very young ones can hear the platform as their children play near them.  Non violent toys and multicultural books are available for the children, so they can play, move around and make noise as they need to.  We will consider having a childcare person to staff this room if requested.  Babies and young children are welcome in the main platform room when they are quiet and not distracting to the other listeners.   We offer the listening room as an alternative to respect children’s needs to be active and listeners needs to hear and concentrate on the platform.  (The room is not set up on festival days as all ages are welcome in the main room for festivals.)
