Radiant Hearts is an online multimedia program aimed at helping families with young children learn Baha’i prayers, memorize short quotations from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, and study spiritual qualities together.
The program consists of 19 lessons, one for each of the Baha’i months. Each lesson focuses on a spiritual quality, and consists of a prayer and a quotation set to music, two songs, and 19 simple activities (including printables) for each day of the month. Activities are geared to children four and under, will last from five to ten minutes, and require only very basic materials that they probably already have at home.
There is also a shortened lesson for the period of Ayyam-i-Ha.

How can Radiant Hearts extend beyond the home?
As we learn the words of Baha’u’llah and try to live by His teachings, we are no doubt moved to perform acts of service for our community. Therefore Radiant Hearts was designed to pave the way for three specific acts of service:
- Teaching
- Hosting a Devotional Program
- Sharing Radiant Hearts with Other Children (Playgroups and Preschool classes)
Go to this page for details and more resources for these service opportunities.
