Alongside you, NAEYC is the national voice of the early childhood community.  Explore the work we do with you every day!

For Educators

With the new NAEYC membership, every early childhood professional, at every career stage, has full access to a comprehensive suite of benefits. Grounded in our CARES framework—Community, Advocacy, Resources, Events, and Support—these new benefits are at the heart of your NAEYC membership.

For Families

Parents and guardians are at the center of a child's life and dictate the trajectory of their early lives. We're working to provide the best resources, tips, and ideas for parents and families to expand childhood education and development.

For Faculty and Students

NAEYC values the role of higher education in advancing the early childhood educator profession. We're constantly working to expand our initiatives and reshape our priorities for higher education programs, students, and faculty members.

For Advocacy and Policymakers

NAEYC is a leading voice for high-quality early childhood education supported by a diverse, dynamic early childhood profession. We are continually working to shape our priorities and initiatives regarding state and federal policies. We're committed to helping early childhood professionals, and non-ECE workers to grow in their careers.
