Heartfelt Impressions Celebrates Week of the Young Child® with Work Together Wednesday

Heartfelt Impressions is excited to celebrate the Week of the Young Child®!
 
Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration hosted by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to recognize the importance of early childhood education and honor the work of early childhood educators, families, and communities in supporting young children’s learning and development. Held each April, this special week highlights the needs of young children and the critical role that high-quality early learning plays in their future success.  Each day, we celebrate with a different theme – finding fun and exciting ways to Work Together Wednesday! #WOYC25
