Welcome to our Blog! 

The NAEYC blog aims to increase general awareness and engage the public in thoughtful discussion around topics and themes related to early childhood education. We share NAEYC initiatives and explore what’s new, upcoming, timely, or topical in the early childhood field.

We have expanded the focus of the blog to also include content that families might find useful. Tip: to view blog posts intended for families only, use the “Refine” box to the right and click on the box  next to "NAEYC General" and then select “For Families Blog”.

Note: Blog posts do not necessarily reflect the views of NAEYC.
