Guests Welcome to the CAAEYC Public Policy Committee!
Thank you for your interest in the California Association for the Education of Young Children (CAAEYC) Public Policy Committee!
Description
CAAEYC advocates for advancement in the early care and education profession and improvement of the lives of young children. Our Public Policy Committee reviews bills related to the importance of early childhood issues and communicates regularly to our legislators regarding these concerns. The Committee develops a policy platform yearly with consultation from the CAAEYC Board of Directors.
