    In our nursery, we provide a safe loving environment to these precious little children. They receive tender, loving care, while you focus on worshiping the Lord. Your infant will have a great time playing and interacting with other children and listening to worship songs.
     
    (2 yrs – 3 yrs old)
    East River Fellowship believes that no child is ever too young to learn about God. Toddlers discover their world through play and they use their senses to input information, so they must look at, touch and smell, hear, or taste. We provide these opportunities for your toddler to participate in learning about Bible stories in a fun and playful ways.
     
    4yrs – Kindergarten
    We know that your young children have unique needs. Their understanding of the world is limited. And their most effective method of learning is through play! Our curriculum “My Great Big God” is designed just for this age-appropriate, where your child will have a chance to actively explore Bible truths in a fun way! Such as; Noncompetitive active games, Art projects, science activities, singing, and praying.

    1st – 3rd Grade
    We want your child to recognize East River as a place where people really love and care for them... a place where they can learn more about Jesus...a place where they can make friends, sing, play and have a ton of fun in a variety of kid focused activities. All curriculum, activities and equipment are designed to meet the unique needs of this age level.
     
    4th – 5th Grade
    By this age, kids think they’ve heard all the Bible stories - not in our class! We will challenge their decision-making skills with inter-related Biblical principles. We will also teach them practical lessons that relate exactly to where they are as a pre-teens in today's mixed up world.
