Day care centre ready to boogie in red

IT DOESN’T take much for the children at Only About Kids Early Education to get dancing.

All staff have to do is play Happy by Pharrell Williams and the kids can’t keep their feet still.

Now they’re counting down the days until their Little Rockers Red Nose Disco next week.

Red Nose (formerly SIDS and Kids) has partnered with Australian Radio Network’s iHeartRadio and Little Rockers Radio to encourage childcare centres around Australia to host a Red Nose Day fundraising disco.

More than 50,000 children across the country are expected to take part, making a significant impact in the cause’s goal to reduce the current child death rate of nine children a day down to zero.

Now in its 29th year, Red Nose Day is raising awareness and critical funding for Red Nose’s research, education and bereavement programs for sudden and unexpected deaths in infancy.

Only About Kids Early Education centre director Sarah Dewhurst threw her support behind the cause.

“We proudly support Red Nose ensuring a bright, happy future for future generations,” she said.

“It’s a worthy cause and we like to give back to our local community. Our kids embrace the joys and festivities of dance and laughter.”

Only About Kids Early Education will deck the centre out in red next Friday.

There will be a big disco ball and flashing lights.

Little Rockers Radio is a popular pre-schoolers radio station available on iHeartRadio.
