WHAT IS THE 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 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 .
