Georgia Preschool Association Membership
What will $20 buy me?
Membership in the Georgia Preschool Association (GPA) is worth more than the few dollars we pay or the little membership card we receive. It gives us the privilege of being an active part of the largest early childhood association in the state of Georgia.

Calling All Program Directors!
We hope that the arrival of summer affords you the chance to enjoy a slower pace, take stock of the needs of your program and the time to plan and prepare for the 2025 school year.
We sincerely invite you to include membership for you and your staff in the Georgia Preschool Association as part of your plan. GPA has been a well-respected, professional organization for early childhood educators in the state of Georgia for 66 years. Perhaps you have heard of us? If so, now is the time to join and become a member!
Membership benefits include:
Access to high quality, Bright From The Start approved training for you and your staff at an annual conference and district trainings offered in various areas around the state.
The 2025 Annual Conference will be held on March 14, 2025 at The Cobb Galleria Centre.
Training discounts.
Access to a free, online curriculum sponsored by GPA, entitled Developing Sound Sense. This foundational, core “pre-phonics” curriculum introduces phonological/phonemic awareness to children. It includes lesson plans with scope and sequence and easy to print materials.
Membership in a professional organization encourages teachers to set their own individual goals and plan their own professional development.
GPA trainings encourage opportunities to network, share ideas and collaborate with a sense of camaraderie and an understanding of the scope of our profession.
Membership gives each teacher the privilege of being an active part of the largest early childhood association in the state of Georgia.
