November 20-26, 2016 will mark the first edition of The Early Childhood Week

Making early childhood issues a priority for Quebec society. 
The theme: Hand in hand for the little ones. 

This annual week will provide an opportunity to:

• Communicate and encourage discussion on the status of the welfare and development of very young children in Quebec
• Focus on actors and actions that have the potential to promote their development
• Raise public awareness and mobilize society to take action, including in municipal, economic and political spheres
