This event, identified as SCDR-3-31, forms part of the broader SayPro initiative aimed at fostering early childhood development through creative expression and cultural engagement.

Eligibility and Participation

Age Group: The competition is exclusively open to pre-school-aged children, typically between the ages of 3 and 6 years old.
Parental Involvement: Every participating child must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. This ensures emotional support, safety, and a positive experience for each young performer.

Fun and enjoyment, and
Educational value, aligning with SayPro’s core mission of empowering communities through knowledge and creativity.

Cultural Representation and Creativity

SayPro celebrates diversity and inclusion. The competition encourages children to express their cultural identities through music, whether through language, rhythm, attire, or movement.
This is not a competitive contest in the traditional sense, but a celebration of talent, identity, and early learning, helping young children build confidence and communication skills in a joyful environment.

Parental Role

Parents or guardians are expected to:

Support and guide their children in choosing and preparing their songs,
Ensure the song content is appropriate and child-friendly,
Be present during the performance to provide encouragement and reassurance.

Outcome and Recognition

Every participant will be acknowledged with a certificate of participation and a small token of appreciation to honor their courage and creativity.
Special mentions may be awarded for:

Cultural expression,
Originality,
