Mennonite Early Childhood Network

The mission of the Mennonite Early Childhood Network (MECN) is to assist in developing the whole child spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively within a framework that reflects an Anabaptist interpretation* of the Christian faith by providing information and resources for parents and educators of all children, birth through kindergarten.   Revised April 25, 2013


* "Jesus is the center of our faith, Christ-centered community is the center of our life, and reconciliation is the center of our work."
​                                                                            Palmer Becker. August 5, 2005
