Transcendence in the Pre‐school; Supporting the Relationship between the Pre‐school and the Church

Abstract

This article has grown out of our combined work in the fields of early childhood education and religious education. Over the past year we have been working with the Chicago Committee on Children (funded by the Chicago Community Trust Fund), a group of early childhood and clergy persons interested in improving the quality and understanding of young children's programmes housed in churches. While many issues have surfaced in our meetings, the question of differing language systems has emerged as a major factor blocking church leaders and pre‐school personnel arriving at a common understanding of the importance of such programmes.
