First Day School

October 10, 2027 @ 11:20 AM - 12:00 PM

The Religious Education (RE) Committee provides year-round activities for infants and children through a variety of programs.

Meeting for Worship is always open to children of all ages. Stony Run uses traditional Quaker language (calling Sunday “First Day”) in naming our First Day School program. It meets during the later service on Sundays.

Typically, children attend silent worship with adults for the first twenty minutes. At 11:20 they leave with their instructors for class. The early Meeting has childcare in the nursery but does not offer religious education programming. 

In the summers and near high-travel-holidays, children ages five and up gather in one group for an assembly.

Children five years and younger are served in the nursery. Babies in arms are welcome in Meeting for Worship or in the nursery (or a combination). Nursing is welcome anywhere in the Meetinghouse, including during Worship. If parents need a quiet space to feed a baby, please see an usher or one of the staff for assistance.

As students get older, the Religious Education program transitions from mostly teacher-planned lessons to programming planned and largely led by the students.
