Welcome to our Capital Area chapter of PennAEYC's page!

The mission of the CACPennAEYC is to promote high quality care in the early learning community through mentoring, resources and support.

The CACPennAEYC expresses its mission in terms of three broad goals:

  1. Facilitating professional development in the field of early care and education;
  2. Advocating for public understanding and support for high quality programs for young children and their families;
  3. Empowering and collaborating with a strong early learning community that shares common goals.

The Capital Area Chapter of PennAEYC, a local chapter of PennAEYC and NAEYC, is a non-profit organization committed to serving children, their families and early childhood professionals in Central Pennsylvania. We serve ECE professionals in the Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Fulton, Perry and York counties. We provide Pediatric First Aid and CPR trainings, an annual ECE conference and hold a family Playdate Park event to celebrate the Week of the Young Child. An ECE college tuition scholarship is available on a limited basis for those who qualify. Our board is made up of volunteers who want to make a difference in the lives of young children. We welcome all who would like to attend a virtual board meeting to learn more about our chapter. To see details, visit our website at www.cacpennaeyc.org.
