Many
MACAE member organizations run high-quality programs
for early-childhood students and their families.
MACAE supports the needs of these programs through professional
development and resource sharing opportunities.
MACAE 2005 Legislative Platform - Early Childhood Education
Support
before and after-school programs for students
in grades 1-8 through school-based community
education programs.
Support
school-based child care centers - currently a
valuable means for parents to receive safe, educational
child care services. MACAE believes that
many of the new child care licensing rules proposed
by the FIA would place undue financial hardship
on child care centers and result in child care
fees beyond the financial means of many parents.
Support
funding for universal preschool programs.
