Welcome to the resource page for PYM Religious Education Curricula for Children. These curriculum resources were originally written and published by the Religious Education Concerns Group of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. Each curriculum packet includes everything necessary for you to plan and organize one or more religious education classes (aka "First Day School Programs") on each topic. Each packet includes information about lesson content and planning, student age range, activities, supplies and resources.
