Join TAIP:
‍Amplify Your Impact in Early Childhood Education

Empowering Educators!

What You Can Expect as a Member

TAIP is best known for our annual Fall Conference, where we invite experts in the field of early childhood education to present to our members.

The Fall Conference event offers expert training, networking with fellow educators, and the spark to ignite your passion for teaching.

But that's just the beginning! We also provide a newsletter, a podcast, specialized workshops, directors' meetings, and more.‍‍

• ‍Networking: Along with the opportunity to meet other educators at our more extensive workshops, we host smaller teacher-sharing sessions and support teachers and administrators joining the TAIP board to work together with staff from different schools.

• Professional Development: TAIP hosts and co-sponsors regular professional development workshops on a variety of topics. These events allow members to connect, share ideas, and learn from specialists around the world.
• Publicity: TAIP's website includes a member schools and associate organizations directory. We also publish a newsletter and member news on our social media pages. We also promote TAIP in online advertising and traditional print advertising.
