First Day School for Young People

“Care of the children of the meeting should be the responsibility of every Friend. Let us share with our children a sense of adventure, of wonder, and of trust and let them know that, in facing the mysteries of life, they are surrounded by love. Both parents and meetings need to guard against letting other commitments deprive children of the time and attention they need. Friends are advised to seek for children the full development of God's gifts, which is true education.”

— Revised Faith and Practice, New England Yearly Meeting, 1985

Cultivating the spiritual lives of children within the context of meeting is a vital part of the role of the faith community. Providing developmentally appropriate and rich learning experiences for children, as well as providing opportunities for deep connection with the adults in the meeting is at the heart of a strong First Day school. Listed here are many resources to help meetings provide a spiritual home for their children.
