Each April, Michigan celebrates Month of the Young Child® (MOYC®).
This
is a time when communities and individuals recognize the needs and
rights
of young children and their families.
Since 1971, one week
in April has been celebrated nationally as Week of the Young Child.
In 1985, Michigan expanded the celebration to the entire month of
April, with each week having a specific focus.
Michigan Association
for the Education of Young Children (MiAEYC) coordinates the campaign
with support from local and state organizations, businesses and public
agencies.
