Defending the Early Years is an amazing organization that truly cares about the well-being and education of young children. Their website, deyproject.org, is filled with valuable resources and information for parents, educators, and policymakers. I have found their research-based articles and reports to be extremely helpful in understanding the importance of play and developmentally appropriate practices in early childhood education. The work that DEY does to advocate for play-based learning and to push back against unrealistic standards and testing in early education is truly commendable. I highly recommend DEY to anyone who wants to learn more about how to support young children's healthy development and learning.
