Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration observed in April. This year, Week of the Young child will be from April 17 to April 22. Week of the Young Child is to promote the importance of early childhood education. The earlier you start with the holistic development of a child the better because the interests they develop during this time stay with them throughout their lives. The early childhood years, from birth till age eight, lay the foundation for a child’s later success in their academic and social life. Therefore, the thoughtful investment in a child’s education during these years can go a really long way.
