The NAEYC website contains a plethora of outside links,
related to child welfare, education and resources within the field of early
childhood. This includes links to the (NACCRRA) National Association of Child
Care Resource and Referral Agencies, NAEYC accreditation site, as well as many
links to articles within its site that pertain to important early childhood
issues.
I have examined the resource for families under the site,
which contains information for families regarding current early childhood
issues, policies, education tips, and advice for parents. Under the blog,
issues are discussed on how parents can become more involved in their child’s
developments, topics like Self-Directed Play: In the Moment Children Can’t
Always Answer “What Are You Doing?”, and Evaluating Children's Media: How Do
You Decide What's Educational? Provide parents with more in depth informations
and guidance about specific issues relating to early childhood. There is also a
whole section on learning through music. One article discusses the important
role of music in early childhood, as well as the benefits of singing to young
children.
The topic of equity is presented throughout the website in multiple
facets including blogs, and articles from researchers, and early childhood
professionals. Additionally, the topic of equity has been discussed as a
feature topic for the upcoming 2014 National Institute for early childhood
professional development. The organization also provides a diversity and equity
forum that provides an environment in which to come together for mutual education,
self-reflection, networking, and strategic planning. NAEYC’s dedication to
squashing and addressing the inequities in early childhood makes me realize
that the possibility to abolishing these inequities starts with the support of values
and contributions of all families to the community and children’s lives, only
awareness of inequities can educators and parents come together to change
things for the better.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThe NAEYC is an awesome resource, I swear by them. They are also connected with the NAFCC and they offer great support and help to providers. Thanks for sharing!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that those issues and trends we are discussing in class are being discussed in the "real world". It's encouraging to see that Walden is on point with their curriculum. NAEYC appears to be an awesome resource for teachers, administrators, advocates, and families alike!!!
Great Post!

Hello, NAEYC is a great website for teachers and parents that wants to know more about the child's developmental levels and other great resources. I use it as a guide and occasionally attend their workshops . It is important that these websites are up to date with so many issues like poverty, educational gap, and many more.
ReplyDeleteHello Great Choice ! I also chose NAEYC's website it provides early childhood professionals with lots of information and resources that are relevant to the field.
