The newest edition of the position statement and book reflect both continuity and change in the early childhood field. Still central since its last iteration in 1996 are NAEYC’s fundamental commitments to excellence and equity in educating children and a core understanding of how children learn and develop. At the same time, new knowledge gained over the last decade has deepened that understanding, allowing NAEYC to revise and refine its ideas about how to promote every child’s optimal development and learning.
