Our organization aims to provide continuing education for preschool teachers regardless of where they teach, to offer a forum for sharing ideas and information, and to champion the needs of young children and their parents in our communities. Additionally, we provide assistance to our members through a bi-annual newsletter, providing a teacher consultant and mentor teachers, providing a psychological consultant, helping teachers find placement in a preschool, and providing access to meetings of preschool teachers specifically in your area.

Membership is open to anyone interested in the purpose of this association. Dues are $30 per membership year (August 1 - July 31).
