Raising Children to Serve: Teaching Kindness & Compassion

Posted on November 1, 2025
R.O.C.K. Club in Radford, Virginia equips children to love God and serve others with joy. Raising children to serve: teaching kindness and compassion—is central to everything we do. Our team builds daily rhythms that point kids to Jesus, shape character, and invite them to practice kindness in real moments with friends, teachers, and family. We root every activity in a mission to support both academic growth and spiritual formation for families throughout Montgomery and Pulaski counties.

Why Service Matters in Early Childhood Formation

Children learn fastest by doing. We guide them to notice needs, offer help, and celebrate small acts of care. This hands-on approach strengthens empathy, courage, and responsibility while anchoring the heart in Christlike love.

Kindness in Action Across Preschool, Before/After School, and Tutoring

From ages three to twelve, our programs give children daily chances to practice kindness—sharing materials, encouraging peers, and helping younger friends. Teachers model servant leadership during activities, snacks, homework help, and outdoor play.

Teaching Compassion Through Bible, Prayer, and Story

We open Scripture, pray together, and tell Bible stories that highlight Jesus’ compassion. Children connect truth to action through guided reflection and simple service projects that match their age and stage.

Partnering With Parents to Build Habits at Home

You set the tone at home, and we stand with you. Try short family devotions, “kindness challenges,” and mealtime conversations that celebrate serving. Share stories with your child’s teacher so we can reinforce those habits during the day.

Next Steps: Practice Service in Our Radford Community

Join us as we encourage kids to hold doors, write thank-you notes, and pray for neighbors. Together, we bless Radford and the New River Valley as children live out their faith with humble, practical love.

Help your child build lifelong habits of faith and empathy. Call us at (540) 267-3000 or email us. Join us in shaping young hearts to love and serve through Christ by raising children to serve: teaching kindness and compassion.

A Day in the Life at R.O.C.K. Club

Posted on October 1, 2025
R.O.C.K. Club in Radford, Virginia welcomes families throughout Montgomery and Pulaski counties with purposeful, Christ-centered care that energizes both hearts and minds. A day in the life at R.O.C.K. Club blends Bible lessons, play, and academics to create a rhythm that feels both structured and nurturing. Children are guided through activities that build confidence, encourage curiosity, and foster friendships, all while keeping Christ at the center of their day. Parents can feel at peace knowing that every moment—whether in the classroom, on the playground, or during prayer—contributes to their child’s growth spiritually, socially, and academically.

Morning Welcome & Christ-Centered Start

Children arrive bright and early—preschoolers between 7:00–8:15 a.m. and school age kids as early as 6:00 a.m. Regardless of the program, eager smiles greet staff who lead Bible lessons, snack time, and play in faith-filled surroundings.

Learning Through Bible, Literacy & Play

Classes flow with intentional variety: Bible lessons, literacy activities, and both indoor and outdoor play engage preschoolers. School age programs also weave in structured small group time to reinforce learning in a faith-based atmosphere.

Snack, Social Time & Spiritual Growth

Every day includes wholesome snacks that fuel both body and soul. Children soak in teaching through stories, worship, and scripture—nurturing spiritual growth as naturally as they grow physically.

Structured Small Groups & Kindergarten Readiness

Preschool innovators break into small groups by readiness level. Teachers lead children through letters, numbers, colors, and faith-infused lessons that cultivate kindergarten readiness alongside spiritual curiosity.

Safe, Loving Closure to the Day

As the day fades, R.O.C.K. Club guides transitions gently through clean-up, reflection, and prayer. Families pickup children by mid-afternoon or evening, knowing each child experienced a nurturing, Christ-centered day.

Give your child the gift of community, learning, and faith. Call us at (540) 267-3000 or email us. See how children learn, play, and grow spiritually as we walk you through the joy of a day in the life at R.O.C.K. Club.
