The National
Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) understands how important a child’s
education and development are to parents and families,
which is why this section is devoted to you.
NAEYC developed the resources in this section to
support families in their early childhood
education and parenting needs. In this section you can learn how to make the Right Choice for Kids, the
importance of and how to find an NAEYC Accredited program in your area, information to give young children a great
start on learning, early childhood
education news from all over the U.S. and world, and the opportunity to visit NAEYC's web
site to learn even more.
Other sections of the web site that
may be of interest include, ordering publications
on parent-teacher relationships, taking an active part in advocating for quality early childhood education,
and celebrating early learning success in an annual Week of
the Young Child.
Child
Care Resource and Referral Agencies (CCR&Rs) are grass roots programs that provide child care referrals and parenting
information to parents, training and technical
assistance to child care providers, information and support for employers and for the community. There
are currently 13 community-based CCR&Rs in Oregon
receiving state funding. All are members of the Oregon Child Care Resource and Referral Network.
Help has arrived for parents and
child care providers who want to choose environments
that are safe, healthy, and free of chemicals of concern. The Eco- Healthy Child Care (EHCC) program ensures
that child care settings are as environmentally
healthy as possible.
