Road Safety In Early Education #1: Key Road Safety Messages

Welcome to a special edition of the Learn Play Thrive podcast as we launch an exciting 10-part mini-series Road Safety in Early Education. Recorded in partnership with Kids and Traffic, the Early Childhood Road Safety Education Program at Macquarie University, this series is designed to empower educators with evidence-based strategies for keeping our littlest learners safe. In this premiere episode, host Linda Harrison is joined by expert road safety education consultants Amanda Menzies and Bec Dunn. We explore why educators are a trusted source for families and how to effectively weave road safety messages into the daily fabric of your early years setting.We break down the core Kids and Traffic philosophy, focusing on the developmental realities of why children are at risk around traffic. You’ll also be introduced to the three pillars of road safety messages - pedestrian, passenger, and safe play. Join us as we set the stage for a journey through the EYLF V2.0, numeracy, music, and excursions... all through the lens of quality road safety education.Find out more: https://kidsandtraffic.mq.edu.au/ If you enjoyed this episode, consider leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform.Have questions or feedback?
