NAEYC and its Affiliates are united by a core value of expanding our impact on early childhood education. Through the CARES benefits framework—Community, Advocacy, Resources, Events, and Support – we collaborate across national, state, and local levels, empowering our members, driving impactful change, and elevating the work of early educators while advancing the well-being of young children. 

Our Affiliate Network is a vibrant community of nonprofit organizations committed to local engagement, comprehensive resources, dynamic conferences, professional development, and robust advocacy. Together, we create opportunities that extend our reach, influence key agendas, and build an effective, engaged network that champions our shared vision for early childhood education.
