A major goal of NAEYC’s Office of Applied Research is to bridge the gap between early childhood research and practice. Those who work closely with children must have access to high-quality research in order to ensure the practices they use in the classroom are best for the children and families they serve. Access early childhood research using the links below:  

• Search Engines and Other Web Resources
