Week of the Young Child & Member Appreciation

We feel that it is important to celebrate not only early childhood children, but to also celebrate the
professionals that work in the field.
Typically in the past we have done an Activity Fair, and last year we switched it up a bit and sent out a
Thank You, for All That You Do gift to each of our members that included a 2014 - 2015 early educator
themed school planner, a book for the class, and 2-3 Activity handouts. - a value of $15.00!
This year the Week of the Young Child (WOYC) will focus on the theme of
Celebrating our Youngest Learners
and will be held from April 12th - 18th, 2015.
Visit www.nwndaeyc.org to keep updated on the activities and events!
