Idaho AEYC proudly hosted Early Learning Day at the Idaho State Capitol on February 3, 2026. The event brought together 24 early childhood organizations from across the state to meet directly with policymakers and show them the real work happening in Idaho’s early learning communities.  

The day focused on ensuring lawmakers heard firsthand how access to high-quality childcare directly impacts Idaho’s workforce and economy by elevating voices closest to families and young children.
