National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)

The Division for Early Childhood

The three organizations above are ones that appeal to me the most because each of them support quality in education. NIEER also supports excellence in educational research. The Division for Early Childhood (DEC) promotes policies and advances evidence-based practices that support families and enhance the optimal development of young children (0-8) who have or are at risk for developmental delays and disabilities. DEC is an international membership organization for those who work with or on behalf of young children (0-8) with disabilities and other special needs and their families.
