Homewood Early Learning Hub & Family Center Hosts WOYC Open House

The Homewood Early Learning Hub & Family Center held an open house event on April 7 as part of its Week of the Young Child (WOYC) activities.

The open house was held during WOYC’s Musical Monday and featured Operations Better Block - a Homewood-based community organization that enables residents to assume the primary role in formulating community development goals consistent with their perception of community needs - and Crescent Early Childhood Center.

Activities included a guitar craft, music and dancing, play, food, refreshments, and learning about the work that the event’s visitors provide for the community.

The National Association of the Young Child first established the Week of the Young Child in 1971 as a week to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and recognize early childhood programs and services that are centered around those needs. Increased interest over time led Trying Together to designate the entire month of April as the Month of the Young Child.
