NAEYC's 2025 Public Policy Forum
Sunday, February 23- Tuesday, February 25
NAEYC’s annual Public Policy Forum is returning to Washington, D.C. in-person in 2025, where we will bring together hundreds of early childhood educators and stakeholders to strengthen our advocacy skills, expand our policy knowledge, deepen our relationships with Congressional offices, and build a powerful movement across states and communities!
This multi-day forum will support new and seasoned advocates in sharing their stories as part of an effort to deliver a clear, unified, and coherent message to policymakers on the importance of investing in high quality early childhood education and early childhood educators. During a wide range of dynamic, engaging sessions, participants will be able to build community and gain skills through trainings, resources, and conversations with policymakers, experts, and leaders. The Forum will culminate in a powerful Day on the Hill with hundreds of policymakers focused on child care and early learning.

2022 PPF Wrap-Up
A record-breaking 40+ Georgia attendees participated in the 2022 NAEYC Public Policy Forum. Many of these attendees joined at least one of the nine meetings that GAEYC hosted with Georgia's Congressional Delegation to share the challenges facing Georgia's child care industry. Join your colleagues in telling Congress #ChildCareCantWait by:
Encouraging others to respond to the action alert by calling or emailing their U.S. Representative and Senators and asking them to pass legislation to invest in child care.
