- 2008 Week of the Young Child...
This year, the Week of the Young Child (WOYC) is April 13-19, 2008. WOYC is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The purpose of WOYC is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. NAEYC first established the WOYC in 1971, recognizing that the early childhood years (birth through age 8) are the foundation for children's success in school and later life.
The following Fresno based groups are currently involved in our community’s WOYC celebrations: The Discovery Center, First 5 Fresno, Central Valley Children's Services Network (CSN), Reading and Beyond, Fresno BabyFest, League of Women Voters-Preschool Leadership Coalition, Central California Association for the Education of Young Children.
