Check out this Time Magazine article on the Sunday school of The Children's Program at the Humanist Community of Palo Alto, California. Here are a couple of other interesting humanist efforts in early education:
-The Ethical Community Charter Schools: charter elementary schools planning to open their doors in New York City and Jersey City in September, 2008 ("Every child will acquire the intellectual and ethical habits of mind that will foster success in education and society and the core values of ethical behavior");
-The Carl Sagan Academy: a middle school "profoundly committed to the belief that all people can, and do learn";
All of these programs had financial help from the Institute for Humanist Studies, which is the same organization that provided a grant to the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County for our very popular television commercial.
