AEYC
in Alaska and the Nation
The Southeast
Alaska chapter
AEYC has been providing leadership in early childhood education
for over twenty years in Southeast Alaska. Our membership and Board
of Directors consist of parents, teachers, child care providers, school
age staff, social service professionals, and anyone who recognizes
the importance of the early years.
The membership
is actively engaged in developing and maintaining the quality of care
and education for young children. In addition to advocacy activities,
regional conferences, and events, the Southeast affiliate has successfully
applied for and administered a number of grants, including the Child
Care Food Program, Resource and Referral service, merit awards, and
many projects designed to provide support and resources to families
and programs caring for young children.
