Early Years Are Learning Years

April 12th - 18th is the National Week of the Young Child, sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).  The Week of the Young Child is a time to recognize the importance of early learning and early literacy.

Each weekday during the Week of the Young Child has a learning "theme:"
     Music Monday - Sing, dance, celebrate, and learn
     Taco Tuesday - Healthy eating and fitness at home and school
     Work Together Wednesdays - Work together, build together, learn together
     Artsy Thursday - Think, problem solve, create
     Family Friday - Sharing family stories

NAEYC is offering resources for families and teachers for fun learning activities for each of the above themes.  Visit this link for daily ideas:  http://www.naeyc.org/woyc/activity-resources
