Understanding the NAEYC Standards

Standard 2a. Knowing about and understanding diverse family and community characteristics.

This standard simply means that it is the role of the educator to take into consideration the different economic, social and family backgrounds from which each and every student comes from and how this background affects them mentally, socially and emotionally.

The role of the standard is to be able to identify the familial and other relationships that the student in question has, how strong these relationships are, and the social support structures that they have. This is important to early childhood educators as it helps in understanding the child’s behaviour and way of thinking. This is vital in tailoring class material that the child will be responsive to and creating an environment in which the child will realize their maximum potential.
