What is the AECPTA?
The Allen Early Childhood PTA is a network of families dedicated to promoting the welfare of children from birth to kindergarten through parent education programs, community service and organized family activities. We provide support for parents, teachers, family members and caregivers. The AECPTA is part of the National Parent Teacher Association, the oldest and largest children's volunteer advocacy group in the nation. The AECPTA offers a foundation for affirming our young children as they grow and for building parental support of our children as they enter formal school years.
Through our group, members address common concerns and participate in activities that benefit and enrich the lives of our children and their families. We are open to all individuals interested in the education and development of children from birth to age 5. We have so much to offer! Where else can you find an organization that offers monthly speakers, playgroups, monthly field trips, craft circle, adult socials, and so much more?
“The AECPTA has helped me realize I’m not alone! Parenting young kids is hard and I now have a support team to call on. I have never felt judged. Everyone is welcoming and supportive.”

“I love this group! We have no family nearby and AECPTA has really filled that void for me. When I became a SAHM I felt isolated. AECPTA gives me a "village" I can turn to for support.”
