Our Goals

• To create a vibrant religious education community of children, youth, parents and other adults of UUSIS
• To provide a curriculum of religious education for children and youth that conveys the essential values, heritage, and sources of the living tradition of Unitarian Universalism; to provide high-quality programs that enhance religious education for all ages through intergenerational worship and activities;
• To train, support and recognize ourselves as religious educators in the contexts of home, work, church and community;
• To help our children and youth feel a sense of belonging to our religious community by becoming integral parts of our UUSIS family;
• To help our children and youth embrace and learn from many religious heritages those ideas and values which are relevant to them and to build a basis for a living religious philosophy;
• To help our children and youth gain respect and appreciation for themselves, others, and all living things;
• To enjoy each other!

Mission Statement

We, at the Unitarian Universalist Society in Stamford, will create a secure environment which enables each child to develop self-esteem, values and a sense of the worth and dignity of all people. 

We will present curricula and activities which will foster identification with the Unitarian Universalist purposes and principles, based on an understanding of our own and other religious values. 

To Parents

Take time to register your child. Whether you are an "old-timer" or brand new, your child must be registered for the program each year. At this time you will have the opportunity to share any pertinent information about your child, such as allergies, special needs, etc. Click here to download a registration form (MS Word format).  Registration forms are also available in the Social Room. There will be no fees charged. (See Funding)

Consistent attendance and parent participation are expected. Your child will get a sense of your active level of commitment and be less likely to feel "out of the loop."

Volunteer to help! This is a cooperative RE program and we ask that parents help in some way--by attending RE Committee meetings, assisting in classes, sharing a hobby, chaperoning field trips, helping plan holiday activities, etc. 

Children in the Nursery program must be picked up by their parents immediately after class. Older children will be escorted to the Social Room by their teachers after classes are finished. Parents are responsible for their children's behavior during coffee hour.

Please support the efforts of your children and teachers by checking in with them regularly about classroom experiences.
