Ramadan Celebrations: Fostering Excitement and Understanding

At Creative Hearts Islamic Preschool, we eagerly anticipate the arrival of Ramadan by engaging our young learners in a series of special activities designed to spark excitement and deepen their understanding of this blessed month. Through interactive and educational experiences, we aim to instill in our children a sense of anticipation and reverence for Ramadan, while nurturing their spiritual growth and connection to their faith.

Objective

The objective of the Ramadan Care Package activity is to cultivate a sense of empathy, compassion, and generosity in our children, while also reinforcing the importance of community service and social responsibility. Through this activity, we aim to teach children the Islamic values of caring for others, especially during the blessed month of Ramadan, and to instill in them a deep understanding of the rewards of charity in pleasing Allah Almighty.

Activity Details

Before the onset of Ramadan, our teachers engage children in various activities to introduce them to the significance of this holy month. Through storytelling, discussions, and creative arts and crafts, children learn about the importance of fasting, the revelation of the Quran, and the spiritual rewards of Ramadan. They explore the names and attributes of Allah, deepening their understanding of His infinite mercy and blessings.
