NAEYC Standards

Standard 2: Building Family and Community relationships

I understand and believe that a successful early childhood education depends upon
partnerships between us teachers and the childrens families and that is why I selected my I.E.P.
to demonstrate my knowledge of section two. I.E.P.s are important in a childs journey to
success in school and is built with a team that includes the parents/caregivers. This helps the
families understand that this is valuable opportunity and is needed for children with disabilities
to receive a quality education. I have witnessed with my own two eyes the benefits of this service
and is behind the program one hundred percent.
