Week of the Young Child 2026

April 11-17, 2026 is Week of the Young Child this year!

This special week is a dedicated time when we celebrate the importance of early childhood and the families, educators, and advocates who support these important years in a child’s life. Each day of the week highlights a different way to play. Make time for play this week and every week! We are super excited that so many of our community partners will be participating this year and hosting all kinds of fun events that connect with the themes for each day of the week.

Check out the full list of events and join us for some of them!
