Public Policy

RAEYC is directly connected to the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s (NAEYC) Public Policy’s office and gets frequent updates that track movement on critical issues. NAEYC’s positions are non-partisan and issue-driven and are derived from looking at what is best for children.

At the state-level, RAEYC is part of the New York State Association for the Education of Young Children (NYSAEYC). The public policy co-chairs have regular contact with public policy chairs from around New York State.

Locally, RAYEC participates in advocacy efforts to increase funds for child care subsidies. Regular public policy updates at the national, state, and local level will be posted periodically on this website.
