Quick Facts about Elevate Jr.

1. Each Elevate Jr. series is eight weeks long and is not tied to the calendar. This means you can start with any series and launch them in the order that works best for your church. Starting with Spy Chase, Elevate Jr. will be produced with every Elevate series from this point forward.
2. Elevate teaches children 3 - 5 years old how to apply Bible concepts and stories to their daily lives with a fun, creative approach.
3. There are two ways to use Elevate Jr. The Classroom Format alternates video teaching elements and classroom activities to give children small sections of the curriculum at a time and keep them moving throughout the lesson. The Large Group Format combines all the video teaching elements into one section and all the classroom activities into another, allowing you to use a common teacher or venue for the video portion.
4. We train your volunteers for you! Elevate includes Activity Training DVDs that will teach by example, along with helpful tip sheets and printable lessons/scripts.
5. Classroom Activity supplies vary from week to week, but are basic in nature and can be obtained at common stores (i.e. Walmart).
6. You can use Elevate Jr. with as little as one teacher.
7. While Elevate and Elevate Jr. are similar in theme, they do not have the same Main Point or Bible Story. Each curriculum is carefully crafted for their target age group. Both curriculums go to the same land, but each age group learns different things.
8. Elevate doesn't require special software to run - if you can operate a DVD player, you can use Elevate!

This map represents all of the series that will be taught in the first year of ELEVATE and is designed like a theme park map to build excitement toward what's ahead. We want kids to look at the map and say, "Ohhhh, I can't wait to go there!" or "Wow, that place looks like it will be so much fun!" Because we present a new theme every 8 weeks, the environments change regularly and keep each child's learning experience fun, fresh and exciting.
