Celebrate Week of the Young Child™ April 6-12, and honor early childhood educators who are at the heart of quality early learning.
Studies prove that the brain connections made in the first few years of life set a child’s path for success in school and in life. NAEYC’S Week of the Young Child™ acknowledges the critical role of early childhood teachers who educate and care for children during the early years.
1. Find a Week of the Young Child event to attend in your community.
2. Join in the NAEYC Week of the Young Child Music Fest on Google Hangout - April 9th at 1:00pm!
3. Give the gift of NAEYC membership to your child's teacher. With a membership, teachers will get one of NAEYC’s periodicals or magazines full of learning ideas based on the latest research.
4. Express your gratitude to your child’s teacher with a note, an art project created with your child, or simple words of thanks. Heartfelt messages are always appreciated.
5. Share the impact your child’s teacher has had on your child’s learning. Tell us about it!
