This year’s Week of the Young Child takes place April 6-12, 2024– that’s right around the corner! What wonderful activities do you have planned for your school or community?

NAEYC invites you to celebrate and shine a spotlight on your classroom, advocacy, and family engagement activities via their social channels. They can’t wait to see all the creative ways you recognize the importance of community and give hope to our children during what are uneasy times.

Again this year, NAEYC asks its members, centers, higher education programs, and everyone else in the early education community to Step It Up (SIU) during WOYC®. They’ve kept the same daily themes, but they challenged YOU to expand them! Congratulations on spreading the word about the importance of high-quality early learning, and the critical role early childhood educators play in a child’s development and learning.

Children learn so much as they enjoy music, explore food and cooking, build together, create art, and celebrate their families! We hope you continue to be inspired by the activities linked here.
