# Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CECPTA? | That stands for Carrollton Early Childhood Parent Teacher Association. This means that anyone in the general area of Carrollton can join.
Why would I join an early childhood PTA? My child is not in school yet and doesn't have a teacher. | We are really just a parent's organization that provides support and activities for parents of infants and toddlers. We are part of the National PTA so that's why that acronym is in our name.
What does the CECPTA do? | We have monthly meetings with informative lectures, field trips, holiday parties, playgroups, Bunco groups and Member's Night Out activities, in addition to many other programs. Your yearly dues of $25.00 includes our monthly newsletter (which has the details for every outing), admission to the monthly lectures and participation in any of our activities.
Do I have to go to the meetings? I just want to join for the parties and playgroups. | No, attendance is not mandatory at any of our meetings. Lots of people join just for those very reasons and many never attend a lecture.
I would like to attend a meeting but I don't know anyone in the PTA and would feel awkward coming by myself. | This is a prevalent feeling among new members and we are going to do a lot to help people just like you feel welcomed and befriended. When a new member attends, and we know that they are by themselves, we will make sure that they are introduced to a returning member who will show them around, save them a seat and make them feel right at home.
How do I join? | Simply print out the application. Fill it out and mail it and your check for $25.00 made out to CECPTA to CECPTA c/o Amy Turner 1005 Janus Dr. Carrollton, TX 75007-2879 Once you have joined you will receive our monthly newsletter, "The Crib Sheet" which is included in your membership.
