The National Association for the Education
of Young Children, http://www.naeyc.org/.
The National Association for
the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is a professional membership
organization that works to promote high-quality early learning for all young
children, birth through age 8, by connecting early childhood practice, policy,
and research. The program works to advance a diverse, dynamic early childhood
profession and support all who care for, educate, and work on behalf of young
children.
NAEYC
accreditation is the gold standard for early childhood programs
across the country. Families of young children who attend NAEYC-accredited
programs can be confident that they deliver the highest quality early care and
education.
Save the
Children, http://www.savethechildren.org.
Save the Children invests in childhood – every day, in times
of crisis and for our future. In the United States and around the world, the
Save the Children organization gives children a healthy start as well as the
opportunity to learn and protection from harm. By transforming children's lives
now, the Save the Children fund works to change the course of the children’s future
and ours.
I love NAEYC, too. It is my go-to place for articles and policy statements about developmentally appropriate practice in the field.
ReplyDeleteIt also has a global interest forum I am using for this couse and I look forward to learning more about the Saving Children on your blog as well as connections between students' lives and the broader society are necessary (Boutte, 2008). The Website sounds very interesting.
