Becoming more familiar with NAEYC

This organization that I have chosen to learn more about is an American based foundation.  Since I don't live in American and have never taught in the States, I find it interesting to delve deeper into this organization and learn a little more about education in USA.  The NAEYC or National Association for the Education of Young Children is the biggest organization of it's kind in the world.  They collaborate professional opinions and experiences and aim to develop national policies based on research and evidence for the best possible practice for the educational of young children.  Through conferences and workshops they aim to reach professionals in the Early Childhood sector.  They have good connections with policy makers and are well recognized and through this they can make a difference on a larger scale.  They are also involved in the maintenance and longevity of quality Early Childhood Education.  On their website, www.naeyc.org, there are limitless resources and information regarding Early Childhood practises. The NAEYC has a main goal and that is to support the equal opportunities to quality education while recognizing children's development as a stepping stone to a successfully future.  I found these articles very relevant to this weeks work:


Both of these articles addressed diversity within Early Childhood, which I personally take a deep interest in.

  1. Amanda,
    You have chosen a very good organization that is very well known in our field in the United States. I am a member of NAEYC and all the local chapters in my state. I hope you are able to gain alot from researching this organization and its mission.
