NAEYC’s annual celebration, held this year from April 5-11, 2025, aims to highlight the importance of early childhood and the impact of high-quality child care. The Week of the Young Child is a chance to proclaim loudly: young children and early childhood programs matter!

Each day of this special week has themes dedicated to young children learning about and exploring their world: Kick-off Saturday, Music Monday, Tasty Tuesday, Work Together Wednesday, Artsy Thursday, and Family Friday. This year, Bright Horizons is proudly sponsoring Artsy Thursday!

Bright Horizons and NAEYC embrace creativity year-round, but on April 10, 2025, we invite all families and educators—whether affiliated with Bright Horizons or not—to sign up and join us at our centers and let their inner artists shine!

Hands-on engagement in art and creative activities gives children the opportunity to learn valuable skills such as problem-solving, experimentation, expression, innovation, scientific thinking, mathematical understanding, and new vocabulary.

When young children create something based on their own ideas and efforts, it boosts their confidence and fosters a sense of competency and pride.
