SUMMARY:Week of the Young Child 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us for NAEYC’s 2025 Week of the Young Child® celebration! Our annual event celebrating early learning\, young children\, their teachers\, and families. We are so excited for another fun-filled week celebrating young children and their families with hands-on\, collaborative activities encouraging movement and healthy lifestyles through music\, food\, and art. \nThe Week of the Young Child® is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)\, the world’s largest early childhood education association\, with nearly 60\,000 members and a network of 51 Affiliates. \nThe 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. \nNAEYC 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 later 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. \nSouthwest Ohio AEYC will be celebrating this year’s Week of the Young Child by hosting events\, sharing resources\, and raising public awareness of the importance of early childhood education. \nLearn more at naeyc.org/events/woyc. \n  \n
