Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS), serves children 3 years old thru 3rd graders. "The Atrium" is the name for the prepared environment were the program is offered.
From the National CGS website (www.cgsusa.org)
"The 3-6 year-old child is particularly capable of receiving and enjoying the most essential elements of our faith - the announcement of God's love especially experienced through Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who died and is risen. Materials (Montessori style) on the life of Jesus Christ and his teachings help to make the mystery of God concrete for the child. The heart of the catechesis for children under six revolves around the Parable of the Good Shepherd. Jesus announces that he is the Good Shepherd who calls each one by name. The sheep listen to the voice of the Shepherd and follow him."
