Description
The California Association for the Education of Young Children is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing excellence throughout the early care and education profession by uniting educators of young children and advocating for political and professional leadership. The California Association for the Education of Young Children Collection dates from 1926 to 2004 and documents the establishment and development of the organization as well as its programming, outreach, and advocacy on behalf of early childhood caregivers, educators, students, and families.
Background
The foundation for the California Association for the Education of Young Children began with a small group of nursery school professionals at Mills College of Oakland, in 1926. After twenty years of developing separately, the Northern and Southern California Associations for Nursery Education joined their annual conferences in 1948. By January 1953, a state association proposal was written. The first annual meeting of the board of directors was held in 1955. The five regional associations of California Association for Nursery Education (CANE) became the California Association for the Education of Young Children.
