Celebrating the Week of the Young Child
Kiddie Academy of Abingdon was proud to celebrate the Week of the Young Child from April 11–17. This national event, led by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), highlights the importance of early childhood education and the vital role it plays in a child’s growth and development.
This special week honors young children, their families, and the dedicated educators who support them every day. Throughout the week, our Academy embraced learning through fun, hands‑on experiences that encouraged creativity, curiosity, collaboration, and family connection.
