The Building Blocks Learning Program
Our curriculum is unique for a number of reasons...
- The preschool and elementary volumes share the same titles so children can be learning about the same theme in an age-appropriate way
- Each volume covers a different Bible-based theme such as prayer, Easter or a person like David or Ruth
- Each volume is self-contained and brimming with creative ways to reinforce the Bible Story. All the patterns you need are located in the back.
- Teachers love the “smorgasbord” set up of the lessons allowing them to pick and choose the ideas that best fit their teaching style, personality, children and setting.
- FREE take-home Parent Sheets encourage parents to reinforce the lessons at home
- Plus we offer quantity discounts making it affordable!
We Make It Easy For Teachers!
Since teachers can pick and choose from the many ideas in a lesson The Building Blocks Learning Program is ideal for a variety of settings and time frames. And since most teachers present lessons slightly differently it works great in churches that have more than one service. Best of all The Building Blocks Learning Program is tons of fun - and when you're having fun it's easy to learn!
