Corporate Sponsorship
The Early Childhood Education industry is a pillar of the economy, caring for the young children of the current workforce while providing a foundation of learning for the future workforce. Sadly, the industry is in crisis. Many early learning programs do not have enough staff to open their centers to full capacity, which makes it challenging for families to find access to care; ultimately making it more difficult for families to maintain steady employment.
A corporate sponsorship with deaeyc is an opportunity to connect to the child care centers in proximity to your business or corporation, to offer investments specifically geared toward recruiting and retaining quality early educators, allowing centers to staff appropriately and open to full capacity, resulting in your employees having access to high quality child care programs close to work. Additionally, your investment will connect your company with the broader community and will have opportunities for your staff and colleagues to participate in meaningful experiences related to early childhood education, such as invitations to events, advertisements, vender opportunities, and more!
Investments in deaeyc will be used wisely to improve the quality, impact, and reach of early childhood education programs.
