Publisher's Synopsis
The Kindergarten of the Church is a book written by Mary Jane Chisholm Foster and published in 1894. The book discusses the importance of early religious education for young children and proposes a curriculum for a church-based kindergarten program. Foster argues that it is crucial for children to develop a strong foundation in their faith from a young age, and that a kindergarten program can provide the ideal environment for this. The book provides practical guidance on how to set up and run a church-based kindergarten program, including advice on curriculum development, classroom management, and teacher training. Foster emphasizes the importance of using age-appropriate teaching methods and materials, and encourages teachers to create a nurturing and supportive environment for their young students. Throughout the book, Foster draws on her own experiences as a kindergarten teacher and her knowledge of child development to provide insights into how young children learn and grow. She also discusses the role of parents in their children's religious education, and offers suggestions for how churches can work with families to support their children's spiritual development. Overall, The Kindergarten of the Church is a valuable resource for anyone interested in early childhood education or religious education. Foster's insights and practical advice provide a useful guide for those looking to establish a church-based kindergarten program or improve an existing one.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
