The National Association for the Education of Young Children, the world’s largest organization for early childhood educators, has a brand new magazine designed especially for preschool teachers. Teaching Young Children highlights current thinking on best practices in early childhood education, innovations in the field, research and its implications, and interesting ideas for and from preschool teachers. The articles and other features reinforce the accreditation criteria for the NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards on Relationships and Teaching and encourage effective teaching in the preschool years.

Using the Teaching Young Children Web site, preschool teachers can share and find ideas, suggest topics we can cover in future issues, and network with other teachers in a growing online community. Our goal is to create a magazine and online community that matches your interests and needs.

Some frequently asked questions:

Why is the publication targeted to the preschool age group?
The largest group of NAEYC members works with preschoolers, so we decided to launch a practitioner journal for these educators. At a later date we hope to offer similar publications for educators who work with additional age groups.

Does this new publication replace Young Children?
Teaching Young Children will not replace Young Children. The new publication is designed for readers who prefer shorter articles that present practical information in a direct and friendly writing style, with photographs used to share teaching ideas and strategies. 

How frequently will you publish Teaching Young Children?
In the first year, we will publish 4 issues. Beginning the second year we will publish 5 times.
