About Us

• Shaping excellent early care and education leaders and

  systems in the region,  now and in the future.

  From its beginnings in 1939, SCC-CAAEYC has had an instrumental role shaping local and state-wide policy and practices in early childhood. At the 2003 SCC-CAAEYC Board/Affiliate retreat, the vote remained strong to continue SCC-CAAEYC as a regional support for professional development. The SCC-CAAEYC Board of Directors continues to create a format so the organization can serve members from Los Angeles County.

  SCC-CAAEYC is a regional organization of individuals dedicated to nurturing the growth and development of early childhood leaders in Southern California and advocating for the highest quality early education for all children.
