FAQS

The APA 7th edition Publication Manual provides discussion of how to cite websites in the body of a paper: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples/whole-website-references Therefore, if one were following normal APA procedures (and the guidance of our citation software, NoodleTools), one might create a reference that looked more or less like the one below (group author, date, title, source information URL):

National Association for the Education of Young Children. (2012). National
     Association for the Education of Young Children.
     http://www.naeyc.org/

If this method was chosen, the matching in-text citation might look like:

• The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) website has a great deal of information, resources, and educational resources for those working with children age 0-8 (NAEYC, 2012). In fact, its "professional development" section has some phenomenal resources that all early childhood practitioners should be aware of including online learning opportunities, DVDs, and more (NAEYC, 2012).

If one is referring to specific parts or pieces of information from the website, then the reference would be to the individual page within the website. Below are several examples of references to specific resources within the NAEYC website:

National Association for the Education of Young Children. (n.d.). About NAEYC.
