Our Goals
Our group started meeting with the goal of building connections between college students and the early childhood community in Central Pennsylvania. After discussions with PennAEYC leaders, we decided to start a regional group of PennAEYC, with the following additional goals:
Build connections with rural areas to support and promote quality programs for young children
Provide support and resources to PennAEYC members based on their needs and interests such as networking and accreditation.
Support the Week of the Young Child, professional development, and advocacy for our profession.

Upcoming Events

Our planning group will be meeting this summer to plan projects for the Fall. To join the planning group, email kjohnson@pennaeyc.org.
