Like any nonprofit organization, Idaho AEYC would not be anywhere without our volunteers. They are the families, early education professionals, and educators who understand the importance of early learning for our children. There are a number of ways you can volunteer and help Idaho AEYC expand early childhood education for all of Idaho’s youngest learners.
Emerging Leaders is a club made up of students, graduates and new teachers in education. They are given opportunities to meet with experts in the field to enhance their development as early childhood education professionals.
Accreditation is a powerful tool through which early childhood professionals, families, and interested citizens can evaluate the quality of programs, make comparisons based on professional standards, and commit to strengthening programs through ongoing evaluations and improvements.
Parents choosing an early childhood education program can be overwhelmed by trying to find the highest-quality program for their child. NAEYC Accreditation is the mark of quality that gives families the chance to make the right choice for their child’s early education program.

As the first place a child begins learning, the habits and knowledge gained in the home build a foundation for their future. Through daily interactions with parents and family members, a child grows, develops, and begins to form the basic architecture of their brain.
Idaho Association for the Education of Young Children (AEYC) brings together communities, leaders, parents, providers, and educators who believe all Idaho’s children deserve a chance at quality early learning to help them grow and develop.
