Early educators and families work every day to make a difference in the lives of young children. The Georgia Association for the Education of Young Children (GAEYC), a state affiliate of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), boasts a 50-year legacy supporting early childhood educators, children, and families. GAEYC works to support these remarkable individuals by amplifying their voices and passionately advocating for what we know to be right for children, their families, and educators. In addition, NAEYC offers a robust suite of national resources and local offerings to provide its members access to cutting-edge content and professional development through online communities, publications, events, and more.

GAEYC is a community of nearly 9,000 early childhood educators and professionals in Georgia. We are dedicated to enriching the lives of children and families while supporting our members' professional growth through a variety of development and capacity-building opportunities.
