Membership Options

Members join NAEYC through their community Affiliate Group. That way you receive all the benefits of NAEYC membership and enjoy the benefits of membership in local, state, and regional early childhood organizations at the same time! Your total dues amount reflects dues for each organization to which you belong, depending on how your state is organized. Dues vary by state and community.

For information about the groups in your area and their dues, select your state from the list below.

Effective September 1, 2005, NAEYC will no longer accept new applications for an Independent Membership. Current independent members will still be allowed to renew at the independent member level. However, a prospective new member must join through a local affiliate. Non-U.S. residents may still join at the Independent Membership level.
