NAEYC’s 2025 Public Policy Forum

NAEYC’s annual Public Policy Forum is returning to Washington, D.C. in-person in 2025, where hundreds of early childhood educators and stakeholders are brought together to strengthen advocacy skills, expand policy knowledge, deepen relationships with Congressional offices, and build a powerful movement across states and communities!

This multi-day forum will support new and seasoned advocates in sharing their stories as part of an effort to deliver a clear, unified, and coherent message to policymakers on the importance of investing in high quality early childhood education and early childhood educators. During a wide range of dynamic, engaging sessions, participants will be able to build community and gain skills through trainings, resources, and conversations with policymakers, experts, and leaders. The Forum will culminate in a powerful Day on the Hill with hundreds of policymakers focused on child care and early learning.

The 2025 Public Policy Forum took place Sunday, February 23 – Tuesday, February 25
