March 17th

This month preschoolers are learning that Jesus wants to be my friend forever. This week they see this when they learn about how Jesus washed His disciples dirty feet. Jesus did this to teach them and I that if we want to be a good friend, we have to put others first and serve one another.

Lead Their Growth: Add toys with feet to bath time. Encourage your child to wash their toys’ feet while you wash their feet. Talk about how Jesus washed His friends’ feet. Jesus washed His friends’ feet to show them that a good friend puts other first.
