Little Helpers, Big Hearts

Early Childhood Week: Let’s celebrate young children November 15-21, 2021!

Every year, Early Childhood Week is an opportunity to raise awareness, encourage dialogue and advocate for early childhood development. Let’s take a moment this week to have a closer look at the youngest members of our community, and to think about what we can do together to help each child get the best possible start in life.

For this year’s Early Childhood Week, we shine the spotlight on two specific goals of Québec’s Collectif petite enfance : to nurture the development of young children and promote family well-being. 

To support these goals, we are launching the Little Helpers, Big Hearts challenge!   We’re inviting parents and caregivers to try including their little ones in household chores in a fun, new way this week. 

Discovered something new while cleaning the house, folding the laundry, or checking off your shopping list with your little one? Let us know about it! 

Share a story, picture or drawing about your experience or your little one’s reaction with us by e-mail at arao@heritagelsl.ca, and we’ll publish our favorite discoveries on our webpage to help raise awareness about early childhood and all the amazing kids and families who are busy building the future for us all.
