Welcome to Southern Arizona Association for the Education of Young Children
The mission of SAzAEYC is to, “Serve and act on behalf of the needs, rights, and well being of all young children with primary focus on provisions of educational and developmental services and resources.”
SAzAEYC has over 320 members in the Southern Arizona area including Graham, Greenlee, Cochise, Santa Cruz and Pima counties. We have 18 members on our Board of Directors and one paid Association Manager.
Some of our proudest accomplishments are:
- A sold-out conference on October 7th at the University of Arizona.
- Ongoing Collaboration with other agencies to advocate for young children.
- Recognition of early childhood leaders in our community at an Annual Brunch.
- Continually working to offer workshops and seminars to early childhood teachers to improve their student’s lives as well as investigating the feasibility of “mini-seminars” to help centers through the newly revised accreditation process.
- Sponsoring a listserv to keep each other informed of important events in our community and maintaining a dialogue among colleagues.
