Week of the Young Child
The purpose of the Week of the Young Child is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs.
NAEYC first established the Week of the Young Child in 1971, recognizing that the early childhood years (birth through age 8) lay the foundation for children’s success in school and late life. The Week of the Young Child is a time to plan how we – as citizens of a community, of a state, and of a nation- will better meet the needs of all young children and their families.
