Week of the Young Child 2011

Celebrating young children, their families, and those who care for and educate them

By Anna Higgins

In our budding anticipation of spring, we will unite as a community in celebration of our young children and families during the Week of the Young Child, April 10-16. This nationally recognized week invites families, organizations, and businesses to join together to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the importance of children’s early years. During the Week of the Young Child, Central Oregon families will be encouraged to play together and learn together because as we do these things, we grow together.

Thank you for joining the Deschutes County Children and Families Commission, Early Childhood Action Team in partnership with Central Oregon agencies, organizations, businesses and professionals in celebrating the 2011 Week of the Young Child. We hope you will take liberal part in the offerings of the week. Be sure to visit www.deschutescountykids.com  for all the week’s happenings.
