YEAR OF REFLECTIONS: A CENTURY OF IMPACT
NAEYC turns 100 this year—and we're helping them mark this milestone by collecting the stories that have shaped early childhood education. The Year of Reflections is a year-long invitation to share your memories, the moments that made you who you are as an educator, and the dreams you hold for the next generation.
Members can check our monthly member newsletter for the prompt and ideas on how to celebrate and mark Utah's place in this celebration as UAEYC was one of the first states to have an NAEYC affiliate!
To learn more, check out NAEYC's webpage on this year-long celebration.
YOUR STORY as a professional matters
Each month NAEYC wiil feature a different theme with reflection prompts to spark your thinking. You can participate once or many times throughout the year—wherever a theme resonates, add your voice.
