The Indiana AEYC audience and membership is comprised of early care and education professionals from various settings, each holding a multitude of titles and positions — all serving young children, birth through age eight, and their families.

Each contribution you make, be it through sponsorship or involvement in the Month of the Young Child, goes directly to support the education and care needs of young children.

Indiana AEYC is the voice to influence policy and promote research-based practice to benefit young children, their families, and those who work on their behalf.
