Military Child Care

The Military Child Care Committee relays the needs and issues of the military child care community to the Board. Members of this committee share resources and information by maintaining connections with Military Early Childhood Programs and their knowledge of their needs and goals. One goal of this committee is to inform Military Child Care professionals about SDAEYC, as well as the benefits and opportunities provided by our organization.

Committee Chair: Rachel Robertson
