Helping your young child learn at home can feel overwhelming – but it doesn’t have to be. Idaho AEYC has collected resources and tools to help families explore different ways to engage with and help their young children learn. From the basics – numbers, letters, and colors – to learning how to name and express emotion, listed below are valuable tools to help you maximize the time you have at home with your child.
Idaho AEYC helps communities build and provide quality early learning programs and opportunities to Idaho’s children through various initiatives.
An organization is only possible with the help and resources from members of our community. If you value early education and want to see quality programming available for all of Idaho’s children, there are a number of ways you can help.
We are system builders! We connect the parts, pieces, and players of the early learning system in Idaho to better serve the needs of young children and families, whether they live in a small rural town or a bustling city.

Mike Crapo and Jim Risch were strong proponents of the grant because it would have directly benefitted Idaho communities.
