Welcome to the Tennessee Association for the Education of Young Children online. I am honored to begin my term as your new president. TAEYC is celebrating 56 years of serving children, providers and the community. We are comprised of over 2200 members across the state including childcare advocates, teachers, administrators, family childcare providers, college educators, resource and referral specialists and many others. We have twelve local affiliates that provide many opportunities for networking, professional development, and advocating for the needs of children.
As we begin this year, we will hold steadfast to our mission of identifying and communicating best practices. We will do this by offering our members local training opportunities, providing a wonderful experience at our annual conference in Chattanooga, staying abreast of the latest developments on Capitol Hill, and communicating information to our membership. We will Reach Our Potential Together!
Debbie L. Ferguson
