Within the available literature, there are conflicting conclusions about young children's abilities to comprehend religious concepts. Few studies include and focus upon 3- and 4-year-old children. The cognitive-structuralists, nevertheless, conclude that the stage of cognitive development of these children prevents them from having an undistorted understanding of the concept of God. There are adult recollections, the writings of Montessori and others, however that suggest young children have insightful ideas about God as well as experiences of the Divine. Most of that literature consists of anecdotal accounts.

520 $a Within the available literature, there are conflicting conclusions about young children's abilities to comprehend religious concepts. Few studies include and focus upon 3- and 4-year-old children. The cognitive-structuralists, nevertheless, conclude that the stage of cognitive development of these children prevents them from having an undistorted understanding of the concept of God. There are adult recollections, the writings of Montessori and others, however that suggest young children have insightful ideas about God as well as experiences of the Divine. Most of that literature consists of anecdotal accounts.
520 $a The research purpose, then, was to discover whether 3- and 4-year-olds have ideas of God, and if so, the nature of those ideas. The study included considerations about how those ideas are influenced by pedagogy, gender, and family church attendance. The methodology is grounded theory with a phenomenological perspective. To answer the questions, forty-seven 3- and 4-year olds were interviewed. There were multiple instrumentations that included an interview, a drawing from the children with their interpretations, and a parental questionnaire. The study included children in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and Godly Play programs, and other mainline church school programs.
520 $a The study's results indicated that 3- and 4-year-olds have individualized and diverse ideas about God. Children in the Montessori-based programs had biblically and theologically accurate concepts as opposed to those in mainline church schools. Parents, too, reported the spiritual experiences of four children.
520 $a There were 19 themes identified, several one of a kind answers, and answers with as many as ten subjects or ideas of God. Some themes included God Has Emotions, and God Prays. Three core themes in the children's ideas and five themes in the spiritual experiences were identified. Among these, it is suggested that the earliest beginnings of young children's religious concepts and experiences have an experiential dimension. This suggests that heretofore the literature underestimated the capability of 3- and 4-year-old children. The qualitative difference discovered between the children in the Montessori-based programs and those in mainline programming indicates that young children's difficulty with the concept of God relates more to pedagogy than cognitive limitations.
