If my child participates in a neighborhood children’s class, will I be expected to participate?
You will be invited to attend the class with your child so that you can relate to the kinds of information and activities your child will share with you. The youngest children (5- and 6-year-olds), especially enjoy the classes when their parents are with them. We realize that at times your child may need to attend without you. The classes are offered as a service by the Baha’i community and are free.

Will my child be exposed to indoctrination?
No. Baha’i children’s classes differ from classes of indoctrination that are common in many other religions. Students of neighborhood children’s classes are instructed in the principles, teachings and basic beliefs of the Baha’i Faith; however, instruction emphasizes learning to think, to reflect and to apply spiritual laws to the life of the individual student and to society. Baha’i children’s class teachers see all religions as one and believe in that they all come from the same Source, the Unknowable Essence we call God.

Should I let my child grow up without any religious instruction?  Maybe my child's generation will be able to create a better world without any spiritual education.
Some people think their children should be left to themselves to make a free choice about religion through their interactions with society. To a very great degree, laxity in providing religious instruction has led to the present state of moral disintegration. Humanity, when left to its own devices without divine guidance, has produced chaos, injustice and suffering in the world

What is the main focus in the neighborhood children’s classes?
The purpose of these classes is to develop in the child the attitudes and spiritual qualities that will bring him closer to God. Later, when the foundation of the child’s character has been established, there is time to develop the skills of acquiring knowledge.

What is a typical lesson like in a neighborhood children’s class?
Because this program of neighborhood children’s classes is used throughout the world, there is a simple and beautiful plan for teachers to follow. Teachers use what is called the "Creative Word" to awaken the spiritual susceptibilities in the children: 

Creative Word: excerpt from "Perspective: Literacy and Development", One Country Newsletter, April-June 2004:

In virtually all of the world's great religions, there is an emphasis on the creative power of the “word” — especially the Word of God — as the key to human transformation, empowerment, and advancement.

“The Word of God is the king of words and its pervasive influence is incalculable,” wrote Bahá'u'lláh. “The Word is the master key for the whole world, inasmuch as through its potency the doors of the hearts of men, which in reality are the doors of heaven, are unlocked.”
