early childhood organization

I chose to follow NAEYC because my center has been going through our accreditation under the new format.  I finished my portfolio this summer and we just recieved our notice that we are accredited and our score was in the high 90's!!

I just thought it would be beneficial as a professional as well as for my teaching position to keep up with what NAEYC is doing.  

NAEYC focuses on many different aspects of early childhood education.  Their primary focus of course is educating children but they also promote professioanl development and working with families to increase success in a child's educational experience.  I have posted their mission and vision statement in case anyone is interested in reading it. 

The one thing I learned about NAEYC is they have gone global.  They have a global alliance that helps organizations world wide to network and share information to help children, families and professionals in the early childhood field. 

Our Mission

NAEYC Mission Statement

NAEYC's mission is to serve and act on behalf of the needs, rights and well-being of all young children with primary focus on the provision of educational and developmental services and resources (NAEYC Bylaws, Article I., Section 1.1).

Goals

NAEYC expresses its mission in terms of three broad goals:

1. Improving professional practice and working conditions in early childhood education.
2. Supporting early childhood programs by working to achieve a high-quality system of early childhood education.
3. Building a high-performing, inclusive organization of groups and individuals who are committed to promoting excellence in early childhood education for all young children.

Vision Statement

NAEYC's efforts are designed to achieve these ends:

• All children have access to a safe and accessible, high quality early childhood education that includes a developmentally appropriate curriculum; knowledgeable and well-trained program staff and educators; and comprehensive services that support their health, nutrition, and social well-being, in an environment that respects and supports diversity.
• All early childhood professionals are supported as professionals with a career ladder, ongoing professional development opportunities, and compensation that attracts and retains high quality educators.
• All families have access to early childhood education programs that are affordable and of high quality and actively participate in their children's education as respected reciprocal partners.
• All communities, states, and the nation work together to ensure accountable systems of high-quality early childhood education for all children.

I do follow a few other organizations because I use their information in my classroom with children and families.
