The Week of the Young Child to be Observed April 7-11th

Help us Celebrate our youngest learners during the Week of the Young Child, April 7-11th 2025.   The Week of the Young Child™ is an annual celebration hosted by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) to spotlight early learning, young children, their teachers, families, and communities.

Children learn so much as they enjoy music, explore food and cooking, build together, create art, and celebrate their families! Click here for ideas to start planning your celebration today!

Music Monday: Music Monday is more than singing and dancing, it’s a way to encourage children to be active while developing their early literacy skills and having fun with friends and family!

Tasty Tuesday: Tasty Tuesday isn’t just about eating your favorite snacks together. It’s also about cooking together and connecting math with literacy skills and science while introducing ways to incorporate healthy habits into children’s lifestyles. Use the tips, resources, and recipes below to get started. 

Work Together Wednesday: When children build together, they experience teamwork and develop their social and early literacy skills. Grab some materials and create! 

Artsy Thursday: Children develop creativity, social skills, and fine muscles with open-ended art projects that let them make choices, use their imaginations, and create with their hands.

Family Friday: Parents and families are children’s first teachers. Family Friday focuses on engaging families to support our youngest learners.
