ACEI members hold a special respect for the right of all children to quality education. Together, we promote childhood education that is focused on each child's natural abilities and environmental influences at home, in school, and in the community.

We support the idea (in all of our member benefits, advocacy activities, and professional development programs) that education is a dynamic process between the educator and the whole child. Together, we can provide the collective voice (there is strength in numbers) in support of childhood education, everywhere!

Because you are a dedicated and concerned educator, we know that you care about the state of today's education system. Identification as an ACEI Member, coupled with the added skill and knowledge obtained through ACEI professional publications and programs, gives you the edge in helping children and advancing your career. It pays to belong to ACEI!
