Bay Village Early Childhood PTA is a local, non-profit group organized under the authority of Ohio Congress of Parents and Teachers (Ohio PTA), a branch of National Congress of Parents and Teachers (National PTA). PTA is a national non-profit organization that has dedicated itself to advocating for the health, welfare and safety of children, youth and families. PTA is an advocacy organization speaking for every child.

Since 1948, BVECPTA has maintained its goals to help promote a happy family life, offer friendship with others of common interests, and to serve the community through projects that benefit the welfare of preschool children. We continue to strive for these goals and work and grow together as a functional PTA organization.
