Teaching Young Children

Teaching Young Children was NAEYC’s award-winning magazine for preschool educators published from 2009 to 2025. Over that time, it became a trusted resource. Its legacy carries on in our work, and its practical, practitioner-focused spirit lives on in NAEYC’s new member-exclusive magazine, Educating Young Children, which debuts in April 2025.
