The Connecticut Association for the Education of Young Children (CTAEYC) is the state affiliate of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). CTAEYC and NAEYC are dedicated to improving the lives of young children and their families by focusing on empowering the professionals that work with them.

CTAEYC was established as a non-profit organization in 1966 together with other local affiliates throughout Connecticut to support the mission of NAEYC by connecting early childhood practice, policy, and research. While over the years the affiliate structure in Connecticut has changed, the overall mission of empowering professionals working with children and families has not. 

With your support, CTAEYC is able to bring professional development to life for early childhood educators across the state.  Your sponsorship shows your support for those very special educators that make a difference every day in the lives of thousands of families in Connecticut.  Early childhood educators are the backbone of our state, educating and caring for the state's youngest citizens so their families can work, attend school, and make a difference in their communities.  Your support means everything.
 

The 2023 Annual Conference will be held at Tunxis Community College on October 27th and 28th. We invite you to be part of the celebration by sponsoring the conference. Please see below for more information.
