Using the Bible with Preschoolers is so important, but the Bible can be a bit overwhelming and it’s filled with so many abstract concepts. This course will cover some very practical ways to teach God’s truths to our young learners without overwhelming them, but also staying true to the Bible. Can we leave out some details? Which version of the Bible is best? What are appropriate expectations for the kids in my classroom? Answer these questions and more!
