Comprehensive pack-  “A Liturgy of Love?” is a comprehensive and easily accessible learning guide to doing morning time, with a beautifully curated menu of sacred and secular wholesome learning content to help parents connect with their children through an enchanting family ritual of storytelling, songs, poetry and recitation.
2. Quality and cultural breadth of content- We are confident that our handpicked selection of life-giving verses, songs and fables drawn from a wide breadth of cultural traditions, will help parents cultivate the love of learning and usher in a sense of wonder and joy within their homes. We guarantee that regular use of our inspiring and soul stirring Morning Time content will soon have your home flooded with engaging discussions, a deeper sense of moral responsibility as well as inspire imagination and creative thinking in your children’s hearts and mind.
3. Easy access to an all-in-one-morning basket-Being a busy, city-dwelling, home-educating and working mum, Alberta Stevens, our founder, knows what it’s like to balance home life with home-ed and work-life. With this in mind, she has designed ‘A Liturgy of Love’ to be an easy pick-up-and go-all-in-one-morning basket for all your Morning Time needs.
4. Eliminates need for forward planning- Rather than fumbling around for various books and spending eons of hours doing your loop plans, our MT resource has done all the lesson planning in advance and thereby saving you time for more important things.

6. Parents’ choice through meaningful book recommendations- Our effort to make morning time easily accessible does not come at the expense of leaving space for families to handpick stories that reflect their own values and cultural identities. We have deliberately left room for families to select their own choice of living picture and chapter books as well as bible stories. We offer recommendations for a host of books and resources on various topics but essentially, it’s down to parents to choose.
7. Diversity of Resources – As a commitment to global citizenship and being a black own business, we actively included poems, folk songs, fables, art and music studies from African, Caribbean and African- American origins. Where possible, we also include stories from other non-European cultures. 

What does the monthly pack include?

Who is the resource aimed at?

This curriculum is essentially for children and the adults who love them.  

Children

‘A Liturgy of Love’ will initially be aimed at parents and their children up to 18 years and beyond. However, for pragmatic reasons we have divided the pack into two offerings:   

• Early Years/Pre-School Pack is suitable for children 5 years and under.
• Primary/Elementary School Pack – is suited for children aged- 5years and beyond. We have capped the age at 11/12 years to align with the level of learning activities proposed in this pack.
• Teenagers: The learning materials in the primary pack are well suited for teenagers and adults alike. Some of the poems by Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Stevenson, Angelou and Agard offered in our primary pack are studied at depth at GCSE level.  At the primary level we offer poetry for enjoyment not for detailed analysis. Depending on their educational philosophy, parents with teenagers might want to use these resources for topic introductions followed by optional ways to engage their teens deeper with the content.  

Parents

1. Both new and veteran home educators will find this resource incredible useful.
2. Parents with children at school will also find our resource an invaluable and easily accessible tool for building connection with children in the evenings and those lazy Sunday afternoons.
