DEY’s Mission:
To inform parents, administrators, and educators about how children develop and learn best, and to advocate for the active, playful, experiential approaches to learning supported by child development theory and research.
DEY’s Three Principle Goals:
- To mobilize the early childhood community to speak out against inappropriate standards, assessments, and classroom practices.
- To advocate at the grassroots, local, state, regional, and federal levels for education policies based on child development theory and research.
- To promote appropriate practices in early childhood classrooms and to support educators in counteracting policies and practices that undermine whole child health and optimal learning.
