Faith Formation

Pre-Kindergarten & Kindergarten

Early Childhood Faith Formation

Children's Faith Formation Pre-Kindergarten (CFF Pre-K)  and Kindergarten (K) are hands-on, Montessori-style sessions focused on introducing the child to the love of God and God’s care for all of God’s creation.  Faith concepts are presented in active, developmentally appropriate ways. Sessions may include scripture stories, arts & crafts, songs, and occasional outside or gym playtime. As with all of our Faith Formation classes, the content is aligned with the Seattle Archdiocesan Faith Formation Standards and the Six Tasks of Catechesis. If you would like more information about this, please contact the Director of Youth Faith Formation at cff@.
