SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Association for the Education of Young Children (Idaho AEYC) is proud to promote and support recognition of and engagement in the annual celebration of the Week of the Young
Child™ (WOYC). Now, more than ever, on behalf of all early childhood professionals, families, and their children, we respectfully request that you proclaim April 1-7, 2023 as the Week
of the Young Child™ in your city.
The Week of the Young Child™ is an annual, nationwide celebration that focuses public attention on the needs of our youngest children and their families and recognizes the early childhood
programs and services that meet those needs. Idaho AEYC recognizes that the early childhood years (birth through age 8) lay the foundation for children’s success in school and later
life.
Today, we know more than ever before about the importance of children’s earliest years in shaping their development. This is a time to recognize that children’s opportunities are our
responsibilities and to recommit ourselves to ensuring that each and every child experiences the type of early environment – at home, at childcare, at school, and in the community –
that will promote early learning.
We encourage you to bring your community together and show your support for young children and families, and especially those who care for and work with our youngest children. We urge
you to issue a proclamation to proclaim April 1-7, 2023 as the Week of the Young Child™.
Attached is the Proclamation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim April 1-7, 2023 as the Week of the Young Child and authorize the Mayor to sign the proclamation.
