Since 1948, the Southern Early Childhood Association has brought together preschool, kindergarten and primary teachers and administrators, caregivers, program directors and individuals working with and for families, to promote quality care and education for young children.

Over 16,500 individuals working in every aspect of childcare and early childhood belong to SECA. They share ideas in local, state and regional meetings, in professional development institutes and through the association's publications and resources. Members receive many benefits, including a quarterly journal, Dimensions of Early Childhood, and discounts on publications and conference registration.
