Junior Junkanoo

Junior Junkanoo is a school program that involves all the private and public schools throughout the Islands Of The Bahamas. 

The Junior Junkanoo program is very important because it is the life blood for the survival of future Junkanoo. It impacts the students in a way that adds to the school spirit, enhances self pride, builds self esteem, and contributes to the overall patriotism of the students. In addition, it provides opportunities for them to learn through their involvement. It assists students in research, planning, organizing, critical thinking, problem solving and role playing activities, and stimulates creative development.

Many children who have participated in the Junior Junkanoo program continued their involvement by joining groups in the senior parade. As a result of the Junior Junkanoo program, children have recognized their talents in music and dance, and have become great musicians or professional dancers.
