Mission
The Orange County Association for the Education of Young Children, the local Affiliate of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, is the largest organization of its kind in the county. Our mission is to support early childhood professionals in their work with children birth through age eighteen, to advocate for high standards and improve working conditions in programs for young children, and to promote public understanding of issues affecting children and their families.

Please visit our Web site at http://www.ocaeyc.org for more information.

Get involved and you'll help shape the future of the early childhood profession. Experience the power of diverse perspectives and shared commitment to young children and our profession as we strive to be a high performing inclusive organization.

Orange AEYC has become a powerful voice not only within the local community, but in the greater childhood development field, through continued support by volunteers. Our continued success depends on member volunteers who want to make a difference.

Please consider showing your support by offering a few hours per month of your time to help us make Orange AEYC a model affiliate. If interested, please contact us for more information.
