Our Robert Mayer Child Development Preschool celebrated “Week of the Young Child” in April. It’s an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
This special week is designed to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize early childhood programs like ours that meet those needs.
That’s the formal reason behind it. We asked our kids and staff what week of the young child meant to them, and here’s what we heard:
What could possibly be better than helping young children feel happy and special and like they are good people?!
Our Week of the Young Child festivities included classroom banners that parents helped make covered with parents’ reasons why their child is special, a chance for moms and dads to come and spend extra time with their kids during the day at a parent and child breakfast, and a carnival to end the week with a fantastic fun-filled celebration.
Enjoy the photos of this weeklong celebration that made the kids at our preschool feel extra happy, extra special and extra good!
