FNESU Early Education Program

 Statement of Inclusion:  FNESU shares the position of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC): Early childhood inclusion embodies the values, policies, and practices to support the rights of every infant, toddler, young child, and their family, regardless of ability. An inclusive experience for all children, and their families, includes a sense of belonging and membership, positive social relationships and friendships, and developmentally appropriate learning to reach their full potential.

Statement of Equity:  FNESU's Early Education Program is dedicated to providing all children equitable learning opportunities.  To ensure this, we support children in the development of the following, as identified by NAEYC: 

•  demonstrating self-awareness, confidence, family pride, and positive social identities;

•  expressing comfort and joy with human diversity, using accurate language for human differences, and forming deep, caring human connections across diverse backgrounds;

•  increasingly recognize and have language to describe unfairness (injustice) and understand that unfairness hurts;

•  have the will and the skills to act, with others or alone, against prejudice and/or discriminatory actions.
