Week of the Young Child will be held April 16th –20th. This nationally cele-brated, week-long event is held annually to focus public attention on the needs

of young children and their families and to recognize the programs and ser-vices that meet those needs. This celebration is sponsored by our professional organization, the National Association for the Education of Young Children. To celebrate, we will have a week of extra fun activities to honor you and es-

pecially the wonderful children you entrust to us to care and educate every day.
