The City of Salisbury is collaborating with Words Grow Minds and Libraries SA to deliver the Salisbury Early Years Discovery Day on Tuesday 17 September 2024, from 10 am to 2 pm at the Salisbury Community Hub and Civic Plaza.
This free expo focuses on early childhood development, empowering parents with knowledge to support their child's growth during the critical first 1000 days.
There will be presentations by early childhood industry specialists, along with free activities and entertainment for children, including visits from Bluey, Nylon Zoo, and a special story time with legendary South Australian author and children's literacy advocate, Mem Fox.
Stalls will be hosted by experts in early education and service providers offering referrals to a range of services. Fun and creative activities will give children the chance to play, sing, dance, have their faces painted, dig for dinosaurs, and attend puppet school.
The event, funded by the Libraries Board of South Australia, supports the Words Grow Minds campaign, an initiative of the Department for Education's Early Learning Strategy.
With an expected attendance of 2000 people, the Salisbury Early Years Discovery Day will connect families and educators with service providers to help them understand how babies and young children learn to thrive.
