Which statement best describes NAEYC, based on the material?

• A. A national association related to early childhood education
• B. A local daycare association
• C. A school district committee
• D. A parent's group

Answer: (A)

NAEYC is a national professional association for people who work in early childhood education. It brings together teachers, directors, and other early care professionals to support high-quality programs, offer resources and professional development, and champion standards (including program accreditation). This makes it best described as a national association related to early childhood education, rather than a local daycare group, a school district committee, or a parents’ group, which would imply a more local or family-focused scope.
