"...Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs." - Mark 19:14

Click here to browse Children's Education Resources from our Online Resource Library!
The Children's Resource section is very large as there are a lot of wonderful resources that aid in the education and development of children. We expect this section to be updated frequently, so please check back often for new resources!

The Children's section includes resources for ages 0 through 13 years old, as well as for those who teach, parent, or are caregivers of children. The Genesis Center also considers the "tween" age group to be a part of the Children's section (however, for older children/tweens, many of our youth resources may be helpful).

Below are some online resources from around the web; if you can't find what you are looking for or need personal assistance, please contact us today!
