NAEYC- Professional Organization

The National Association for the Education of Young Children has a membership charge that varies from state to state. The annual membership for North Carolina is $110-Comp, $70-Reg, $55-Student. With more than 80,000 members, NAEYC is the largest early childhood professional organization in this country. This group publishes Young Children, an early childhood journal of ideas, findings, and issues. NAEYC also publishes books, posters, and other media materials. NAEYC has annual conferences that offer profession training on a range of important topics. To continue my educational endeavor I plan to become a member and attend annual conferences and workshops.
