Texas Capitol

 

The Texas Association for the Education of Young Children seeks to improve early childhood education in Texas by supporting its members to be effective early childhood advocates.  We also collaborate with other early childhood advocacy groups to promote smart public policies that improve quality and address the critical needs of young children and their families. Each one of you is an advocate. When you prepare a child for kindergarten, you’re her advocate.  When you connect her parents to community resources, you’re their advocate. When you participate in professional development, speak in front of your City Council, call your elected officials or vote for policymakers who invest in early childhood education, you’re an advocate for our profession. Each one of you is an advocate. And we need your voice now more than ever. 

 


Texas' 88th State Legislative Session 


The Texas Senate and House of Representatives began their 88th State Legislative Session on January 10, 2023.  

Texas Association for the Education of Young Children remains committed to advocacy on behalf of children, families, and early childhood educators. Learn more about our Legislative Priorities for 2023. As the 88th legislative session progresses, our team will be closely monitoring the status of bills that impact young children, families, and providers. With our tracker, you'll have real-time updates and key information on these bills, including their status, author, and summary.
