Young children are active learners, always building on their experiences and relationships.
Parents and caregivers of young children also learn by doing and by sharing their experiences with each other. The National PTA recognizes the importance of providing support, opportunities, and resources for parents, educators, and caregivers of young children. Early childhood PTAs are encouraged as a unique expression of PTA's commitment to parents and the growth and healthy development of children. An early childhood PTA is for all individuals interested in the education and development of children from birth to age 5. Through its programs, members address common concerns and participate in activities that benefit and enrich the lives of young children and their families.
