National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)

Each April, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) invites educators, families, and communities to celebrate the Week of the Young Child® (WOYC)—a joyful time that highlights early learning, young children, and the adults who support them. Through engaging themed days, WOYC emphasizes the importance of play, creativity, and collaboration in a child’s development, while also recognizing the value of high-quality early childhood education.
