Celebrating 100 Years of Excellence with NAEYC

Honoring a Century of Leadership in
Early Childhood Education

For 100 years, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has been a leading voice for high-quality early childhood education, championing children, families, educators, and the professionals who shape their futures.

As Georgia's NAEYC Affiliate, the Georgia Association for the Education of Young Children (GAEYC) is proud to celebrate this historic milestone and honor a century of advocacy, innovation, research, and leadership that has transformed early learning across the nation.

Celebrating Throughout the Year

Throughout NAEYC's Centennial Celebration, GAEYC is proudly recognizing this extraordinary
achievement by:

  • Celebrating the Week of the Young Child during multiple community events.

  • Highlighting the "100 Years of NAEYC" celebration throughout our annual conference and statewide events.

  • Supporting NAEYC's Centennial Volunteer initiative and encouraging members to participate in this historic celebration.

  • Sharing stories that recognize the impact of early childhood educators and leaders across Georgia.

Looking Back. Leading Forward.

While we celebrate NAEYC's remarkable history, we also look ahead with hope and purpose.

The future of early childhood education depends on strong educators, innovative leaders, supportive communities, and bold advocates working together to ensure every child has access to high-quality early learning experiences.

GAEYC remains committed to advancing this vision by providing professional learning, leadership development, advocacy, networking opportunities, and resources that strengthen Georgia's early childhood workforce and support children and families across our state.

We invite our members, partners, and early childhood champions to celebrate this historic Centennial with us throughout the year.
