NAYCE

NAEYC


The ideals of NAEYC that are meaningful to me are the following:

Their mission: "to serve and act on behalf of the needs, rights and well-being of all young children..."

This is significant for me because it is important to me that all children have someone or some organization to fight for their rights. In the field of education we will come across many families from many different walks of life and each family’s story will be different from the next. With organizations like NAEYC are beneficial for those families that are unaware of their rights either because they are dealing with an issue that is completely new or maybe times and laws have changed since their first encounter of this experience.

Their Vision:

"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.". This is significant for me, as a professional growing in this field, it is imperative I continue to develop and grow, with organizations that support this growth, my colleagues and myself will always have the opportunity to offer the most support and care to our children.

"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." This is significant for me not only as a professional but also as a parent. It is so important that children receive quality programs; the quality of a program can make all the difference for each and every child. The nurturing, the love, their ability to learn through play and explore all are a part of high quality programs.
