Nurturing the Spiritual Development of Children in the Early Years

Arigatou International

This Toolkit is designed to support parents, caregivers and educators to nurture the spiritual development of children in the early years.

The approach of the Toolkit is rooted in Article 27 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which affirms the right of every child to a standard of living adequate for the child’s physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social development.

It provides critical tools and resources to better equip all those who would assist these key adults in children’s lives to create safe, loving, violence-free and respectful environments, strengthen their positive relationships with children, and provide empowering experiences that allow children to develop holistically.
