Comments? 

This is one complete discipleship solution that can be used for everyone in your church. The curriculum is scalable for all-size churches and expansive enough to be used by itself or as a DIY tool for developing your own curriculum. However, be forewarned; there is no upper limit to the cost because there are so many interconnect materials you can purchase.

Each “Class” is about 20 minutes long with songs, a lesson, & an animated Bible story. This is perfect for when you don’t have volunteers who are confident in their abilities or just need a stopgap for a week.

Comments? 

This is practically an All-In-One Children’s Ministry curriculum. It’s not quite "open & go" because you do have to print from the website & organize your materials. But it is general Evangelical content that is appropriate for ages 4-11.
