The problem I find with this, raveneye, is that sometimes it's hard for kids to differentiate between science and religion. When a kid discusses evolution for the first time, when throughout their entire life they hear only about creationism, I think it would be important to ease them into it.
What I suggest is that when going into the evolution unit they give a short history of the science. How the theory itself grew out of doubts of creationism, and this was a more scientific answer to the religious ideas. It's actually a relatively interesting story as well, especially when you hear about how much the idea of evolution bothered Darwin, who was a Christian himself.
