NAEYC’s Recommendations for the 110th U.S. Congress
Click here to read NAEYC’s Call to Action (Making a Difference: Excellence in Early Childhood Education) for the 110th U.S. Congress (2007-2008). The Call to Action provides recommendations in four areas critical to creating excellence in early childhood education: a high quality workforce; a continuum of development and learning; a collaboration of systems; and an expansion of access to high quality. The call urges legislators to use reauthorizations of Head Start, the Higher Education Act, and No Child Left Behind as vehicles to address these issues.
