For Child Care Workers

Early childhood educators are at the forefront of children's growth and development. Idaho AEYC offers tools and resources to better prepare educators for creating programs and making an impact. Our resources include accreditations, training, connections to our network of Early Learning Collaboratives, and more! We seek to build pathways and connections between new early educators, students, and experience early learning leaders.

For Families

Your home is your child's foundation for learning, development, and growth. To ensure children are prepared to thrive in the classroom, Idaho AEYC offers resources for parents and caregivers to help enhance early learning. Find learning resources, check out child care providers in your community, and browse quality programming offered in the state. You can also view state-offered resources that serve families of young children.
