Week of the Young Child

April 11 - 17, 2026

Celebrate play, learning and curiosity during this week-long celebration of childhood!

 

During the National Week of the Young Child™ event, communities across the country celebrate their youngest learners. Across our state, Idahoans raise awareness about the unique needs of young learners and celebrate everyone who makes a difference in their lives. We'll be sharing activities, resources, events, and ways to promote learning throughout this week.

This year marks the 55th year of Week of the Young Child and celebrates early learning, young children, their teachers, and families. High-quality early childhood experiences for our youngest learners are vital and provide a foundation for their future success. Join us as we play, learn, grow, and share joyful moments!
