Associationg for Childhood Development

Texas A&M Bluebonnet ACEI - Association for Childhood Education International

TLAC undergraduates have formed a Texas A&M chapter of the Association for Childhood Education International. ACEI members are guided by a dynamic philosophy of effective education, a philosophy that is flexible and responsive to human needs in a changing society. ACEI's constitutionally defined purpose is to:

Serve members and society through dissemination of authoritative information on education and child development;
Promote a sensitive and comprehensive view of child development from birth through early adolescence;
Facilitate continuous professional growth of educators; and
Focus the attention of the public on the educational needs and inherent rights of children and programs for their well-being - in their school, community and home.

In addition to monthly meetings with informative guest speakers, ACEI members participate in many volunteer opportunities, including Big Event, Children's Museum, Ross Buddies, Helping One Student To Succeed (HOSTS), and many others throughout the semester.

TLAC professor, Dr. Nancy Self, serves as ACEI advisor. For more information regarding ACEI, please email acei@stuact.tamu.edu.
