Parents are the most important advocate for what is best for their children. Accurate information is needed by parents to ensure quality experiences across the many settings in which children will grow day by day.
Public policies at the national, state, and local levels have a tremendous impact on the financing and quality of early childhood education, on reimbursement and compensation of professionals and services to providers, and on supporting the system infrastructure needed to deliver quality programs for all children.
Idaho AEYC and its affiliates and members must be active in public policy; we can be an informed voice on what policies are needed to promote the goal of a well-financed, high quality system of early education for all children. Others will speak for us if we do not use our voices in constructive ways.
Each person can be the agent of change, or we can be the recipients of changes that we did not influence. Join our list serve for action.
