Your sponsorship will be prominently featured at the event, as well as on our Facebook page and website.Held at the Gympie Show Pavilion and grounds, the Little Kids Day Out attracts over two thousand parents and young children. Supported by all schools, early learning centers, support service providers, sporting clubs, and creative arts studios in the region, the event boasts three hundred volunteers providing entertainment, activities, and information booths. Child health and allied health professionals, schools, early learning centers, and other community groups also participate.We’re reaching out to businesses with direct connections to families with young children, seeking sponsorship to continue offering the event at no cost to families. This is particularly vital to us as we aim to support vulnerable children and increase awareness of the crucial role parents play in providing high-quality environments and interactions for young children, leading to better school readiness and health outcomes.The Australian Early Development Index results for Gympie reveal higher rates of children living with vulnerability compared to Queensland and Australia as a whole, emphasizing the importance of our work.We’d love to discuss how you can support our award-winning event.
