The purpose of the Nashville Area Association for the Education of Young Children shall be to provide opportunities for the members to enhance their experiences and increase their knowledge about the development, the care, and the education of the young child.

NAAEYC endorses high-quality early learning for all children, birth through age 8. We promote a diverse, dynamic early childhood profession by empowering all who care for, educate, and work on behalf of young children, through advocacy, leadership and professional development.

All young children thrive and learn in a society dedicated to ensuring they reach their full potential.
