Toolkit on Nurturing the Spiritual Development of Children in the Early Years

Nurturing spiritual development in the early years can provide important benefits for children, acting as a protective mechanism against violence, fostering resilience in children to overcome adversity, and promoting healing for those affected by violence and abuse. To support faith actors around the world to end violence against children and promote their holistic well-being, the Consortium on Nurturing Values and Spirituality in Early Childhood for the Prevention of Violence has drawn upon and integrated both scientific and religious resources to develop this Toolkit. It provides a carefully crafted roadmap — complete with evidence-based interventions, implementation resources and training guides.

For the last six years, the Global Partnership to End Violence against Children has worked to promote and support the implementation of evidence-based strategies to end violence. Arigatou International and other members of the Consortium have been at the forefront for prioritizing, and advocating these strategies, and working collaboratively to ensure that every child grows up free of any form of violence, abuse, neglect or exploitation.

This Toolkit is designed is a fruit of the collaborative efforts of the Early Childhood Consortium to support parents, caregivers and educators to nurture the spiritual development of children in the early years.

The Learning Programme for Adults co-hosted by Arigatou International & Shanti Ashram in August, 2023 is specifically tailored for ECD Educators, faith actors, professionals and caregivers engaged in direct interaction with families, children, or within daycare centers and early learning environments. It is also suitable for parents, caregivers of children up to 8 years old, educators, and other community members involved in early childhood care and learning.
