The official proclamations for the 2021 Week of the Young Child are powerful tools can bring attention to the need for continued public support and investments in early childhood education.
It’s our pleasure to introduce NAEYC’s America for Early Ed State Fact Sheets to help you talk with policymakers about what’s happening in early childhood education and for early childhood educators.
Here are just a few of the many ways that NAEYC and the Affiliate network are working for you out in the world, while you work for the children and families in your communities.
Advocating for policies, laws, and regulations that affect children in a local context is very personal and emotional. At the local level, perhaps more than at the state or national levels, it takes more than compelling facts to be an effective advocate.
NAEYC promotes high-quality early learning for all children, birth through age 8, by connecting practice, policy, and research. We advance a diverse early childhood profession and support all who care for, educate, and work on behalf of young children.
Explore important early childhood policy issues and processes, including what different laws do, how they work, how they support you—and how you can support them.
