Nevis came together to celebrate Child Month on the island with a series of activities during the month of June. The island hosted a number of events to commemorate child month.
The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) Cabinet, Ministry of Education Officials (St. Kitts and Nevis), members of the Early Childhood Development Unit (ECDU) came together to celebrate the annual Parade Day in Nevis on Friday, June 19.
The participants of the parade were all dressed in Child Month T-Shirts as they marched across Charlestown.
The march was attended by parents, teachers, and children from all over the island for the culmination of a month of celebration. The march included the marching bands, participants, and spectators all moved towards the strategically placed water station. The early childhood department in Nevis actively marched in alignment with the theme of the event and the month-long celebration, Fueling our Bodies with the Best: Good Nutrition, Movement, and Rest.
The event was also attended by a contingent from the Nevis Division of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force. The force reminded the attendants of the saying, ‘it takes a community to raise a child’ and reinforced the sense of community mirrored throughout the event.
Premier of Nevis, Mark Brantley also attended the event. He spoke about his experience at the child month parade with satisfaction and happiness.
“We are here in Charlestown at the Child Month March. Every year, we celebrate this march with our parents, our children, our teachers, and caregivers just to demonstrate the commitment of the government in support of our children and the overall society. I think it is a very important show of support, as all the Cabinet members are here as usual. My administration and I commend the work of the Early Childhood Development Unit.”
