Welcome to PAEYC!

PAEYC is a local affiliate chapter of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. 

We are a non-profit organization, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.  Membership in PAEYC is open to all; however, our professional focus is on early care and education (children birth to eight years of age) and public policy issues affecting our field.  (If you are interested in joining PAEYC click here.)

 The mission of PAEYC is to provide collaborative opportunities for professional growth; to advocate for best practices in early childhood education; and to support the uniqueness of our members and the families we serve.
