Vision
We provide leadership to improve and sustain the quality of early care and education for young children and their families, and support our members' professional growth and development.

Mission
CCAEYC is committed to excellence in early care and education from birth to age eight.

It is my personal hope that we will have fun in the process of volunteering our time and efforts. There is no better way to have fun that being positive and encouraging in our relations with others. I feel that it is important that we support one another and recognize that each of us is making a difference in the many lives that we come in contact with on a daily basis. Part of growing or maturing is realizing that none of us has all the answers, yet each of us has something of value to contribute.

We can continue to give each other a reason to be involved in CCAEYC by providing opportunities that work individually for you: your goals, your talents, your time, and your vision. Whether it is participation on a committee for future programs or attendance at a conference, I am sure there is some level of involvement with CCAEYC that works for you! "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." John Elredge, writer

Let us do three things: have fun, be positive, and make a difference. If we do these things others will naturally want to join with us as we pursue our commitment to excellence in early care and education!
