Church Pre-school for a Hindu Kid

[cleasach]

From a cursory glance at Google, it appears there is a Hindu community in Murfreesboro. Have you reached out to anyone local to see where they send their kids?

I would call all the local daycare/preschools and ask them if there is a religious element to their program, explain that you are Hindu and perhaps they can refer you to a non-religious one. Here in NY, many, many daycares are in churches/synagogues but the child care center rents the space and there's no religious element at all. I understand it is way different where you are but maybe a few calls to a local Hindu center could get you some info?

I would be open to Church involving a kid in daily activities even including biblical ones. As Crocodile said my views about God and religion has evolved to the point that I believe that there is only one God. For sure my kid will go through this too (if she wishes) but for the time being I would rather keep it simple enough for young mind.

Thanks for your inputs. I surely know what to ask and talk about during my visit to the Church.

Yes - preschool might not be too much doctrine, but it all depends on how you view religions. If you're someone who thinks they're all the same, or even believe someone can believe two or more very different beliefs at the same time, then it's no big deal.

If you want your child to have a strong religious base and have that be the same as yours, then be careful.

I visited the church and registered our daughter for the pre-school wait list. Thanks for all the inputs, I was able to ask them about their religious views and as everyone mentioned, they're not doctrine or have much religious teachings other than weekly visit to chapel or singing songs. I won't have any problem with that at all. I guess I should have visited the church/preschool first with my concerns first.
