Federal Nationals Member for Lyne, Dr David Gillespie, is supporting Early Learning Matters Week organised by Early Childhood Australia (ECA).
Running from August 5-9, Early Learning Matters Week aims to raise awareness and understanding of the importance of early learning in shaping the development and wellbeing of children.
“The week brings together early childhood educators, parents, caregivers, and community leaders from all over the country to celebrate the journey of early learning and its profound impact on children and communities,” Dr Gillespie said.
“Our local childcare and early learning centres do a wonderful job in helping to develop the capacity of our children through a range of interactive learning activities which is particularly important in their formative years.”
Dr Gillespie said Early Childhood Australia highlights that Early Learning Matters every single day of the year.
“Early learning environments provide fertile ground for nurturing this essential trait, empowering children to explore, experiment, and express themselves with assurance.
“Early learning not only equips children with foundational skills and knowledge but also instils in them the confidence to embrace learning, take risks, and navigate the world with a sense of assurance and optimism.”
