Testimonials

My experience with KAECE has grown me professionally. I am surrounded by early childhood giants who enjoy mentoring me professionally. As I grow in leadership, I better understand the value of mentoring.

Maria Rutherford, President

I love paying one price and getting membership in two organizations. I look forward to receiving the monthly book review from SECA through my KAECE membership. KAECE keeps me up to date on what is happening in Kentucky through its monthly newslettter and offers me the opportunity to blog about many different topics

Elizabeth Mays

My job as a teacher in a small neighborhood preschool many many years ago lead me to KAECE and SECA. From the first time I got involved with these two organizations I felt empowered to move along my path to leadership in the early childhood community. I can't say it enough... join us to gain loving mentorships and connections with the best in the field. For the love of children and families, of course.
