Where to Find SDAEYC Events and Updates After Its Website Closed

Updated

The San Diego Association for the Education of Young Children (SDAEYC) announced that its own website would transition to its regional page on the California AEYC (CAEYC) website on February 1, 2017, and close permanently on April 30, 2017. If you are looking for current SDAEYC calendars, event registration, or other updates, the CAEYC website is the destination the organization itself pointed members toward. The old sandiegoaeyc.org site is no longer the place to find live information.

What the SDAEYC Site Said About the Transition

The notice on the SDAEYC homepage was specific about both the timing and the reason:

  • February 1, 2017 – The SDAEYC website would begin transitioning to its regional page on the California AEYC website.
  • April 30, 2017 – The SDAEYC website would close permanently.
  • Ongoing – Updated calendars, event registration, and other information would be maintained on the CAEYC website.

This means any calendar listing, registration link, or event detail you find on the archived SDAEYC pages should be treated as historical, not current.

Where to Go for Current Information

What you need Where it moved
Updated calendars CAEYC website (SDAEYC regional page)
Event registration CAEYC website
Other organizational information CAEYC website
Membership and general questions during the transition SDAEYC contact channels

The SDAEYC homepage also listed a contact option ("Contact SDAEYC Today") and an inquiry form for questions during the transition period. If you reach a page that still references the old site, use the CAEYC regional page as your primary source.

What Still Applies From the Old Site

Some SDAEYC programs and materials were described on the site independently of the website transition:

  • Membership – SDAEYC invited early childhood professionals and supporters to join, with members-only benefits including discounts on events and materials and access to publications.
  • Professional development – Workshops, special events, research-based publications, and advocacy opportunities were listed as member offerings.
  • Volunteering – The organization described volunteers as "the spirit of our community" and invited people to get involved.
  • Diversity in Action Grant – An information, application, and checklist were posted, with a submission deadline of April 30, 2017.

Because the site closed on April 30, 2017, treat all deadlines and application instructions from those pages as expired unless CAEYC has republished them.

Practical Steps If You Land on the Old Site

  1. Note that any date, deadline, or registration link you see is from 2017 or earlier.
  2. Navigate to the California AEYC website and look for the San Diego regional page.
  3. For membership or general questions, use the contact or inquiry form referenced on the SDAEYC page.
  4. If a link is broken, search the CAEYC site directly rather than relying on the archived SDAEYC URL.

Common Pitfalls

  • Assuming the site is still active. The permanent closure date was April 30, 2017.
  • Using old registration links. Event registration moved to CAEYC.
  • Missing the regional page. The SDAEYC content was folded into CAEYC's regional structure, not kept as a standalone site.

If your goal is simply to find out where SDAEYC information lives now, the answer is the California AEYC website's regional page for San Diego.
