Making a difference for children
at home and around the world!

Welcome to the OMEP-USA website. We are part of an international, non-profit, non-governmental organization with members in more than 70 countries.

We are college professors, preschool teachers, primary-grade teachers, school administrators, social workers, psychologists, doctors, nurses, policy makers, administrators, journalists, physical therapists, librarians, lawyers, policymakers, college students, volunteers, parents, grandparents, advocates, and activists.

Our goal is to ensure the wellbeing, rights, and education of children (birth – age 8) and their families in the U.S.A. and around the world -- today and in the future.

OMEP is the oldest and largest international organization focusing on early childhood. OMEP has Consultative Status with the United Nations, UNICEF, and UNESCO.
