Preschool
Preschool Classroom
Located in Room 3, the Sunday morning preschool classroom starts at 9:45am. Children can be dropped off before the service or stay in worship until the Time For All Ages, after which they will be invited to a lesson with their teacher.
We believe that children’s work is play, and encourage our youngest kids to learn about UU values of love, justice, generosity, and community through stories, games, and song.
Our CPR certified and trained childcare providers introduce and practice the skills of kindness, patience, acceptance and equality with our youngest members.
While we enjoy our lessons with the kids on Sunday mornings, parents and guardians are a child’s first teachers. Our Director of Religious Exploration, Ryan Doppelmayr, would love to talk to you about how we can support you and your family with the values we share.
If you’re new to UUCE, or your family information has changed, please complete this Children and Youth Information Form.
If you would like to connect with our Director of Religious Exploration, email Ryan, religiousexploration@uueugene.org or call 541-686-2775×2.
Sunday Morning Logistics
Drop off and check in: Preschool children are welcome to attend the beginning of the service with their families and teachers. Around 10:15ish, the children are sung out on their way to classrooms with “The Blessing of the Children.”
If this is your child’s first time attending a UUCE Religious Exploration Class, you are welcomed to walk back with them, say hello to their teachers, and share any pertinent health information – you can also fill out this form, and then send them solo.
Check out: Release will be to parent or guardian who dropped off only or another pre-approved adult. We ask that parents come to pick up at 11:15 am.
