A Resolution recognizing the week of April 5 through 11, 2025, as "Week of the Young Child" in Pennsylvania.
This Pennsylvania House Resolution (HR 62) symbolically recognizes April 5-11, 2025, as "Week of the Young Child" in Pennsylvania. It acknowledges the National Association for the Education of Young Children's (NAEYC) annual observance, which highlights early childhood education, development, and the importance of quality early learning opportunities for children birth through age eight. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding; it solely encourages public awareness and community support for early childhood programs. It aligns with NAEYC's longstanding tradition (since 1971) of focusing attention on young children's needs and their families.
