We believe all young children should thrive and learn in a society dedicated to ensuring they reach their full potential. The Southern Arizona Association for the Education of Young Children promotes high-quality early learning for all children, birth through age 8, by connecting practice, policy and research. We advance a diverse, dynamic early childhood profession and support all who care for, educate, and work on behalf of young children.
Each fall, SAZAEYC hosts an early childhood conference that offers high-quality professional development and networking to early childhood professionals in the Southern Arizona region.
