10 years of upward momentum, and the journey is only beginning!
Together, let’s empower every child to reach their highest potential.
Early Childhood Week is turning 10 this year! Join us to celebrate this milestone as we ponder some very important questions:
What are the early childhood–related advances and challenges that have stood out over the past 10 years?
What are our hopes and dreams for the next decade of commitment to young children?
Why an Early Childhood Week?
Early Childhood Week aims to give a voice to the 514 747 children aged 5 and under in Quebec and to make early childhood development a true social priority.
Early Childhood Week is an opportunity for us as a society to stop for a moment, take a closer look at the youngest members of our community and think about what we can do, together, to help each and every one of them get the best possible start in life. Let’s make the most of this week to inspire and inform a conversation about early childhood development in Quebec, from the womb through to preschool, as we shine the spotlight on local and regional support initiatives, and engage community groups, the business world, elected officials and society as a whole.
Early Childhood Week is an opportunity to raise awareness, encourage dialogue and advocate for early childhood development.
