Welcome to WECA

Membership Rate Change

On September 1, 2008, our "Regular" Membership Rate will increase from $45 to $50.

As an Affiliate of NAEYC, we keep only a portion of your membership dues. NAEYC uses part of your dues for their operations, which supports the early childhood profession on the national scene. This $5 increase will remain in Wyoming and help us with the costs of operating the affiliate office, supporting the work of the WECA Board, maintaining our website, publishing our newsletter and organizing and preparing for the State Conference every fall. As costs rise, we want you to know that we appreciate your membership now more than ever.


Student: $35
Regular: $45
Comprehensive: $95

Join today and add your voice to hundreds of members who are working to enhance the lives of young children and their families in Wyoming and across the country. The Wyoming ECA needs YOU!

Important Note for Renewals: It's a good idea to renew before your membership expires. Be assured that your renewal will extend your membership by 12 months no matter when you do it. You will need your Member ID which may be found on your membership card or on the mailing label of your Young Children. If you have let your membership lapse, you should still "renew" rather than joining again so you will get the same Member ID. Also, be sure to use the same name that you used before. If you change, the computer will not recognize you. If you want to change the way your name is shown, you should call NAEYC at 1-800-424-2460 and speak with someone in Membership Services. Membership is handled by our national organization; by joining there, you automatically become a member of the state organization.
