NAEYC Position Statements are adopted by the Governing Board to state the Association's position on issues related to early childhood education practice, policy, and/or professional development for which there are controversial or critical opinions. Position statements are developed through a consensus-building approach that seeks to convene diverse perspectives and areas of expertise related to the issue and provide opportunities for members and others to provide input and feedback.
All position statements can be downloaded free of charge. Some position statements are available in a specialized format, such as a 2-page summary (called “Where We Stand”), a slightly longer Executive Summary, a fuller version with expanded resources and references, or in Spanish.” Where We Stand summaries are also listed at the bottom of this page.
Please note: Written permission is not required for reprinting or reproduction of NAEYC position statements, supplements, executive summaries, or Where We Stand summaries. All copies must include a credit line indicating that the National Association for the Education of Young Children holds the copyright for the material.
Read all the NAEYC Position Statements.
