Armed with cameras and recording devices, parents and supporters of children enrolled in early childhood education programs were on hand to see their children perform during the Early Childhood Education Rally Day hosted at the Stoneham church in Massachusetts. The Atlantic Union Conference Office of Education sponsored the rally on November 7, to celebrate early childhood education in the New England area.

Five schools from the Northeastern and Southern New England conferences were represented at the afternoon program. This was the second rally of its kind held this year.
