What is an affiliate? Which affiliates do I join?
Affiliates are state, regional or other early childhood organizations affiliated with NAEYC. These groups share the mission, vision and goals of NAEYC. When you join, you become a member of NAEYC and CAAEYC (state affiliate) for two, interactive levels of support and resources. CAAEYC has a network of 18 chapters statewide. Chapter service areas are defined by county and in some situations also by city. There are a few Chapters that share a county service area. The list of Chapters and their respective service areas can be located here. Locate the Chapters closest to you so that you can attend meetings, workshops and network with other ECE professionals in your area. As a member of CAAEYC, you are also a member of all 18 Chapters statewide.
