Our network of more than 450 Local Affiliate Chapters is not only nationwide, but extends to Japan, Korea, Puerto Rico, Guam, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands, and all over Europe. Washington State has 13 Local Affiliates that join with WAEYC (state level) and NAEYC (national level) to work toward the goal of providing quality programs for young children while offering a professional development resource for adults.
