This guide is designed to help families make the right choice when looking for a high-quality program for their young children and understand that programs accredited by NAEYC are the gold standard in their community. Based on the 10 NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards, families will be better informed on the components necessary for early childhood program excellence.

Administrators and staff need to know not only how children are progressing but also what challenges they are encountering. Teachers working on this standard will benefit from integrating assessment into their day, rather than making assessment a large task to be attempted all at once. Assessments should occur within the context of reciprocal communications with families and with sensitivity to the cultural contexts in which children develop. This resource, focusing on NAEYC's "Assessment" Program Standard, will guide you toward understanding how to organize and systematize your assessments.

Revised in 2008, this is one of nine booklets addressing the Standards and Criteria specific to NAEYC Accreditation of early childhood education programs. 

Families offer to program staff a unique and invaluable perspective on their child?s behavior, developmental progress, and learning styles. Likewise, program staff who develop and maintain relationships within the larger community can provide better quality support and information to families. Teachers share the primary responsibility for establishing both types of relationships, and in each case, children benefit the most. This resource focuses on NAEYC's "Families and Communities" Program Standards; use it to find out how you can get everyone more involved.
