WHAT IS
EARLY CHILDHOOD?
Early childhood is a pivotal period of child development that begins before birth through age 8.
This is a period of rapid brain and body development and in the first few years of life, more than 1 million new neural connections are formed every second.
By age 5, 90% of brain development is complete, laying the groundwork for attention, memory and
learning.
The first 1,000 days of life are a profound window, where every moment has the power to shape a child’s future.

HOW DO WE
BRING THIS MOVEMENT TO LIFE?
We believe a brighter future starts in the early years but helping children flourish to their full potential takes all of us.
Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Week 2025 brings this vision to life - an Emirate-wide celebration that turns everyday spaces into joyful, learning-rich environments for young children and families.
Anchored in the Year of Community, we invite partners to co-create inspiring experiences that support early development and stronger family connections.
