Originally formed as
the Olympia Association for the Education of Young Children (OLAEYC) in 1972, (before there was even a
state affiliate) SSAEYC has made many changes over the years. In
order to be more inclusive of our members and their geographical
areas, the name was changed to South Sound Association for the
Education of Young Children in 2002. SSAEYC now has members not
only in Olympia and Thurston county, but also Mason, Grays
Harbor, and Lewis counties.
SSAEYC hosts an annual full day conference.
Collaborating with other like-minded organizations in the area,
the Regional Tapestry Conference has become one of the largest
learning opportunities offered to Early Childhood Education professionals
in the South Sound. The conference has a strong reputation, not
only for the variety of the training offered, but the quality of
the presenters it brings together.
