Children are the most precious resource a community has. Bahá'ís believe that moral, spiritual, and values-based training for children is essential in order to nurture these capacities. Thus, Bahá'í communities worldwide sponsor moral education classes for children of all backgrounds. The classes seek to develop essential virtues such as generosity, honesty and kindness. They aim to build a strong moral framework that will assist children to achieve excellence in material, intellectual, health and spiritual aspects of life. In order to form an identity on a local level, we have called and branded our classes as Hooray!

Much like a young tree, children will grow and develop in whatever way they are trained and according to the influences they experience. The classes encourage children to recognise their own nobility and the inherent nobility of their friends. The children acquire knowledge and spiritual capacities which they can integrate into their everyday lives.  Lessons normally run for around one hour or so and the format consists of: stories, music, dance and creative arts. In the Bromley community we have two types of classes for children between the age of 5 and 10. The classes are faciliated by CRB checked teachers, which are FREE and open to everyone! At least one week before each lesson we distribution the 'lesson plan' to parents for their approval. Some parents stay for the duration, make friends and have their own gatherings. Why not get involved for a taster session.

Moral classes are designed for parents whose preference is to avoid religious teachings and studies, but are really interested in the development of morals and virtues for their children. The Bromley community places great emphasis on the moral education of children, with a focus on providing ongoing opportunities for developing a sense of world citizenship and a lifelong commitment to serve humanity. The classes are intended to nurture morally vibrant and healthy young people who will grow up without prejudice and with a positive, powerful sense that have a role to play in helping our world to become a better place. Topics include courtesy, love, equality and generosity.

These classes embrace spiritual and moral teachings and in keeping with the Bahá'í writings that all religions are from the same God; the moral teachings found in all religions form part of the classes. In addition to developing virtues, participants learn about spiritual matters; about the lives and teachings of the founders of the major world religions; and about the importance of prayer in daily living. The writings of the Bahá'í Faith affirm that spiritual education is at the heart of an educational process that leads to the elevation and transformation of the human life and spirit.
