Membership

Member Refresh coming soon! Watch for more details on the "2025 Membership Refresh." As we navigate the vital work we do to support the early childhood profession it is important to look forward while honoring the past. At Michigan AEYC and in partnership with NAEYC, we are continually evaluating the needs of the early learning community and moving forward to support the early childhood educators and field. We are excited about the future and hope you will be too! Watch for more details on membership changes coming soon.
