Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes' Affairs and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority (ECA), the Early Childhood Week serves as a national platform to champion the importance of the early years of a child across the nation. The week is an excellent opportunity for organizations to actively participate by organizing/hosting activations across the country. Through your efforts and collaboration, we are scaling the Week to a national level because we envision a world where all children flourish in a safe and family friendly UAE.
Through the Week, we reach multiple audiences including parents, caregivers, children ages 0-8, the media and content creators.
