Early Years are Learning Years

Print Bookmark and Share

Early Years Are Learning Years™ is an ongoing effort to focus attention on the importance of the early years for children's learning and all aspects of children's development.

EYLYs are short articles designed for parents and other adults involved in the care and education of children on a daily basis. Early childhood programs in the NAEYC Accreditation process frequently use these articles in newsletters to help families and others learn more about giving children a great start.

Note: Reproduction of the Early Years Are Learning Years™ is freely granted, provided credit is given to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)

Currently all EYLY articles are in the process of being updated.  Please check back in the Spring for new and updated articles.
