Why God’s Unfolding Story for Older Preschoolers?

Older preschoolers (ages 3-5) may never be at a more teachable point in their lives. This simple fact alone gives us a great opportunity to fulfill God’s timeless command to teach His story to successive generations. Deuteronomy 4:9b says, “…don’t forget the things your eyes have seen… Teach them to your children and your grandchildren.” (HCSB, emphasis added). So, why God’s Unfolding Story for Older Preschoolers?

Most churches will want to maximize their Bible teaching program for older preschoolers by adopting a strategic curriculum resource that 1) moves older preschoolers through a deliberate and balanced plan of study, 2) provides easy to prepare lesson plans with quality supporting resources, and 3) is developmentally appropriate for older preschoolers. God’s Unfolding Story for Older Preschoolers accomplishes these goals. It provides a balanced and well-sequenced study plan, it is easy to prepare and use, and it was created just for older preschoolers.
