The Week of
the Young Child™ is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association
for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). 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. The 2018 Week of the Young Child™ was April 16–20 and it was a time to plan special
activities at school and home with young children. NAEYC, the world’s largest
early childhood education association, has nearly is committed to providing and
promoting excellence in early childhood education.
Kangaroo
Kids, a NAEYC accredited school, celebrated with a unique schedule of
events. The kick off for Week of the
Young Child was Music Monday! Teachers,
children and parents will share their love of music. JoAnn Zagari music teacher will lead the
classes in musical adventures. Parents
are also invited to come share their musical talents! After the kickoff, children had special
events all week in their classes, which emphasized the importance of literacy,
staying fit, appreciating the arts and giving back to the community. The Week
of the Young Child closed with an ice-cream social. A perfect opportunity to enjoy a delicious treat
while socializing with classmates and reflecting upon the week!
