What is AECPTA?

Allen Early Childhood PTA

The Allen Early Childhood PTA (AECPTA) is a parent group in Allen, TX dedicated to building a strong community where families with young children can connect, grow, and support one another. We bring back the spirit of neighborhood playdates—where babies, toddlers, and preschoolers can make friends and explore the world, while parents, grandparents, and caregivers find encouragement, friendship, and lasting support.

​

Our group is open to families with children from birth through kindergarten (and their older siblings). We support you during these early childhood years with family activities, helpful resources, and meaningful parent connections. Whether you’re a first-time parent with a newborn or a seasoned caregiver navigating preschool, you’ll find people here who understand what you’re going through and want to walk alongside you.

​

Membership in AECPTA includes access to a wide range of opportunities, such as:

• Regular meetups, playgroups, and parent-child events for young kids

• Field trips and family outings in Allen, Plano, McKinney, and Collin County

• Craft circles and creative parent activities

• Guest speakers on parenting, child development, and family wellness

• Socials for moms, dads, and caregivers to relax and connect

​​

AECPTA is open to all parents, grandparents, caregivers, teachers, and anyone who wants to support early childhood development. As part of the National PTA, the largest children’s advocacy organization in the country, we’re proud to connect families locally and nationally.

​

And no—you don’t need to live in Allen to join! Families from Plano, McKinney, Fairview, Lucas, Parker, Murphy, and surrounding suburbs are always welcome. If you’re nearby and looking for connection, fun things to do with toddlers, or a supportive parent group, AECPTA is here for you. We’d love to have you be part of our community.
