Welcome

Welcome to the Arizona Association for the Education of Young Children (AzAEYC) website! The early childhood field is experiencing some great changes! Advances in research and technology tell us that early childhood is a very important stage of development and sets the tone for success in later life, academically as well as in relationships and social/emotional development.

AzAEYC is the state affiliate of the National Association for the Education for Young Children (NAEYC). We have 5 affiliates around the state who work hard to advocate for Arizona’s children and those who spend their time and efforts to care and educate them.

We are a vibrant organization with representation from all around the state. We are a diverse group of teachers, directors, parents and social service providers. We wholeheartedly welcome all who are interested in joining our efforts to be “Arizona’s Voice for Children”
