The Cabarrus Partnership for Children, Cabarrus County Government, and Early Childhood Foundation of Cabarrus County (ECFCC) partnered together to provide a virtual Week of the Young Child (WOYC) Celebration from April 10-16, 2021.

WOYC was established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) in 1971, making this year the 50th anniversary of the celebration. The purpose of the WOYC 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.
