هفته کودک خردسال

April 11–17, 2026 — celebrating early learning, families, and the educators who support children every day

Week of the Young Child

Celebrating Early Learning

هفته کودک خردسال (WOYC), sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), highlights the importance of early learning and the people who support children every day.

When children have nurturing, high-quality care, they are better prepared for school and life. When families have reliable child care, they can work and thrive. Supporting early educators strengthens our entire community.

چرا اهمیت دارد

WOYC is about raising awareness, building connections, and celebrating how young children learn best—through play, creativity, exploration, and relationships.

The themed days offer simple, meaningful ways for children, families, and educators to learn and grow together.

Your Voice Matters

Together, we can continue to advocate for the resources, support, and recognition that children and those who care for them deserve.
