Children’s classes
Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart
Children’s classes in Bahá’í communities focus on spiritual education. They help children explore qualities such as kindness, honesty and generosity, and how those qualities can find expression in daily life. This page introduces that worldwide educational approach; it does not announce an operating class in Cornwall.
Why it matters
The Bahá’í teachings place great value on children and their potential to contribute to society. Spiritual education seeks to nurture that potential alongside intellectual growth. Learning to care for others and to act thoughtfully can begin with the ordinary choices children encounter as they grow.
What participation may involve
Classes use educational materials that develop understanding of spiritual qualities and, over time, introduce further elements of Bahá’í history and writings. The official worldwide examples include songs, art and lessons about qualities such as honesty and patience. Training institutes help prepare people who offer this education.
Parents and guardians should have an opportunity to understand a particular activity before deciding whether it is suitable for their family. Ask the organizer about the approach, the intended age group, supervision and practical arrangements. A description on this website cannot establish those details for an unconfirmed local class.

Ask about children’s classes
Send a general enquiry about children’s classes, or email secretary@bahai-cornwall.org.

A parent or guardian can ask about the activity without identifying a child. This contact is an enquiry, not registration or a safeguarding assessment.
