Public Policy Overview

Print Bookmark and Share

NAEYC’s public policy goal is a well-financed, high quality system of early childhood education for all children from birth to age eight.
 
NAEYC’s public policy work at the federal, state and local levels reflects the Association’s position statements, standards for programs, standards for teacher preparation programs, and other resources as well as research and evidence from the field. Our issue-driven advocacy is conducted directly with policymakers and through technical assistance, materials and other support to our affiliates and others working on shared public policy goals and efforts.
