This week, NYAEYC's team joined hundreds of early educators from across the country for NAEYC’s Public Policy Forum for an inspiring few days dedicated to raising our collective voice. After two days of focused training, our team met with the offices of our representatives to share meaningful stories from the field, ensuring that the voices of early childhood educators, children, and families were heard.
