All children have the right to equitable learning opportunities that help them achieve their full potential as engaged learners and valued members of society. Thus, all early childhood educators have a professional obligation to advance equity. They can do this best when they are effectively supported by the early learning settings in which they work and when they and their wider communities embrace diversity and full inclusion as strengths, uphold fundamental principles of fairness and justice, and work to eliminate structural inequities that limit equitable learning opportunities.

The NAEYC’s Position Statement provides significant guidance on human equity. The full position statement plus additional guidance can be found at Advancing Equity in Early Childhood Education Position Statement | NAEYC
