Position Statement Drafts: Now Open for Public Comment

Nearly one year ago, we reached out to you to ask you to engage in the process of collective revision for the Code of Ethical Conduct (last revised in 2011) and the Early Childhood Program Standards (last revised in 2005). Thousands of you have since shared your ideas, needs, and feedback through surveys and focus groups. With that guidance, and led by extraordinary workgroups made up of Governing Board members, educators, faculty, researchers, partners, and advisors, we are honored to be able to launch a public comment period with draft versions of these two revised position statements for your review through November 15, 2024.

Thank you to each of you for sharing your thoughts and helping us to shape these meaningful, important, collective, and shared resources that provide guidance and support to early childhood educators in creating joyful, equitable learning environments for all.
