Week of the Young Child
You’re invited to a celebration of young children in SF.
The Week of the Young Child is April 6 – 12, 2024. To celebrate, Family Resource Centers are hosting free events all over the city. During the first week of April and throughout the month, there will be events that celebrate your child, parenting, and all of the resources that are available for families in your community.
There are 26 Family Resource Centers (FRCs) in San Francisco. Do you know the ones in your community? If you haven’t met them yet, find an event near you to go and say hello!
There will be fun for the whole family, and everyone is welcome. Caregivers are invited to learn about the resources FRCs offer, everything from guided playgroups and parent cafes to infant massage, while children can play and learn together. Each FRC is hosting different events, so visit as many as you can throughout the month of April.

What is the Week of the Young Child?
The Week of the Young Child is an annual month-long celebration of our city’s youngest children, their teachers, families, and communities. That’s right—there are so many incredible Family Resource Centers in San Francisco, we need a whole month for all of the events!
Young children’s brains develop more during the first 5 years of their life than any other time. This celebration is about getting the word out that building connections between all the pieces in a child’s life is so important.
Whether you are celebrating your little ones with us, out and about at one of the beautiful parks in San Francisco, or in your own home, share it with us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter using the hashtag #SFWYOC. San Francisco is a great place for families like yours, and we would love to see the magic of early childhood from your perspective!
