This celebration caps off the “Week of the Young Child,” which is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). “The purpose of the Week of the Young Child™ is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs,” said Cheila Armour, CDSA Early Childhood Coordinator.
The fun begins at 9 AM with free Putt-Putt, Paddle Boats, games, and fun activities for the whole family.
Theresa Sharp, Chair of the Coalition, said “This is a great way for families to spend quality time together. We will be giving out health related information goodie bags and providing healthy activities for all. Parents will be able to learn about job possibilities, career advice and continuing education and scholarship opportunities from NOC, NWOSU, Autry Technology and other institutions, agencies and businesses. Together, we hope to solve problems, breakdown barriers and create opportunities for the entire family.”
