TACTYC was founded in 1978 by a group of early years teacher trainers who recognised how isolated they were feeling in their work and how supportive and developmental it could be to come together with other trainers, on a regular basis. Today, TACTYC has broadened its base to welcome trainers from a wide range of early years' backgrounds, early years researchers, education consultants, and professionals working with children and families in day-care, education, health, play work and social service contexts and TACTYC warmly welcomes students from across these areas.
TACTYC is now the Association for Professional Development in Early Years.
Membership (which includes a subscription to Early Years ) costs £45 per year for full members, or £30 a year for student/unwaged members.
