We are admonished to teach the words of Holy Script "diligently unto thy children," and to "train up a child in the way he should go" (Matthew 6:33, Deuteronomy 6:7, and Proverbs 22:6, KJV).
Thank you for visiting the NAD Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) website. From the very beginning, Adventists have focused on the importance of education and healthcare in improving people’s lives. Additionally, Seventh-day Adventists have recognized the importance of the care, nurturance and education of God’s precious little ones. Ellen G. White stated, “It is during the first years of a child’s life that his [her] mind is most susceptible to impressions either good or evil. During these years decided progress is made in either a right direction or a wrong one”, Child Guidance, p. 193. It is our desire to support you as you mold the lives, the minds, and the souls of God’s most precious gift—young children.
As ECEC is a new extension of the North America Division Office of Education, we are in the beginning stages of learning and understanding your vision for ECEC as well as ways we can best support you. We invite you to complete the survey that follows as we would love to hear from you! Who is NAD ECEC? Each of us throughout every Union across the Division working together to “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it” Proverbs 22:6
