Every April, thread<\/strong> joins the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to celebrate young children, their families,
\n and their teachers. The Week of the Young Child is now more important than ever. <\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us just how important families and early childhood educators are in the healthy development of young children. As early
\n childhood education programs decide whether to close or stay open, we all experience how critical child care is to our state\u2019s infrastructure. As families
\n shelter in their homes, we remember the role of the family as the child\u2019s first and most important teacher. Together, we can give our children hope
\n in these uncertain times. <\/p>\n

So join thread <\/strong>to lift up young children and celebrate the Week of the Young Child, April 11-17, 2020. Each day has a fun-filled theme,
\n highlighting different areas of learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\nApril 13: Music Monday<\/strong>
\n
Through music, children can develop math, language, and literacy skills\u2014all while having fun and being active.
\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nApril 14: Tasty Tuesday<\/strong>
\n
Cooking develops many skills, including math and science, while encouraging healthy nutrition and fitness habits at home and in the classroom.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nApril 15:<\/strong> Work Together Wednesday<\/strong>
\n
When children build together, they explore new concepts and develop their social and early literacy skills.\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nApril 16: Artsy Thursday<\/strong>
\n
Children develop creativity, social, and fine motor skills with open-ended art projects that allow them to make choices and use their
\n imaginations.\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nApril 17: Family Friday<\/strong>
\n
Engaging and celebrating families is at the heart of supporting our youngest learners. Family Friday recognizes that family members are
\n a young child\u2019s first and most important teachers.\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
