MUSIC, sand pits, painting and laughter have filled schools around the Redlands as Under Eight’s Day was celebrated over the last week.
Under Eight’s Week is an initiative of Early Childhood Australia and was started 60 years ago.
This year’s theme was ‘Early learning, everyone benefits’.
Early Childhood Australia Queensland executive member Marie Stuart said the event aimed to highlight the importance of early learning for children.
She said research had shown participating in quality early learning during the first five years of a child’s life had significant benefits.
