Membership is open to those persons interesting in furthering research in early childhood education in the Pacific area.

While no formal requirements are set, it is expected that membership would include personnel from colleges, universities, research institutes, ministries and/or departments of education, as well as administrators of early childhood programs.

At present there are no membership dues and no financial support for the organization. The Association should be supported by membership dues. Outside funding might be sought for particular activities. Costs of conferences should be covered by registration fees. Some startup costs for conferences and publications might need to come from dues. Publications that might be developed should be self-supporting. (Membership dues could include a subscription to a journal or monograph series if it is developed) Any publications develop should be juried.

Currently, there are total 389 registered members. They are from these countries and regions: Australia, China, HongKong, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, US, and others.
