The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) understands how important a child’s education and development are to parents and families, which is why this section is devoted to you.

NAEYC developed the resources in this section to support families in their early childhood education and parenting needs. In this section you can learn how to make the Right Choice for Kids, the importance of and how to find an NAEYC Accredited program in your area, information to give young children a great start on learning, early childhood education news from all over the U.S. and world, and the opportunity to visit NAEYC's web site to learn even more.

Other sections of the web site that may be of interest include, ordering publications on parent-teacher relationships, taking an active part in advocating for quality early childhood education, and celebrating early learning sucess in an annual Week of the Young Child.

Given the economic challenges we face, a tax-deductible gift of any size to NAEYC’s Building a Lasting Legacy Campaign is all the more important to our ability to create innovative programs and initiatives for our members in the early childhood education field, and most importantly, for our young children. And it’s a perfect way to let the early childhood educator in your life how much you appreciate the work he or she does on behalf of children.
