About Us
The Iowa Association for the Education of Young Children is a nonprofit organization with hundreds of members throughout the state of Iowa. As a state affiliate of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), we support efforts to improve the early care and education profession. This includes improving teaching and learning practices, promoting leadership and professional development in our profession, supporting accreditation and excellence in early childhood education programs, and building public awareness through advocacy and outreach. Membership is open to all individuals who share a desire to serve and act on behalf of the needs and rights of all young children.
We work to promote high-quality early learning for each and every young child, birth through age 8, by connecting early childhood practice, policy, and research. We advance a diverse, dynamic early childhood profession and support all who care for, educate, and work on behalf of young children.
