Bala Vikas – (For Ages 4-11)
Every generation has a responsibility to pass down traditions and values to the next generation.
We must instill in our children, a strong sense of character, culture, and values. It is also very important that we teach them these values, early in their lives, when they have curious, inquisitive minds.
Bala Vikas offers a values-based education to children, using lessons sourced from Hindu scriptures. Classes are offered in the serene environment of the Sai Temple. Lessons are taught by highly motivated volunteer teachers who have a strong desire to make a positive and lasting impact on children.
