Sure Start Developmental Programme for 2-3 year olds

 

Our Sure Start Developmental Programme is designed for children aged two to three years, preparing them for preschool. This government-funded initiative, coordinated by The Health & Social Care Board and supported by the Department of Education, emphasizes the importance of play in fostering self-regulation, language development, cognition, and social skills.

Programme Benefits:

  • Physical Development: Opportunities to enhance physical skills and enjoy outdoor activities.
  • Cognitive Growth: Activities that help children understand their world, develop problem-solving abilities, and practice emergent skills.
  • Social Interaction: Encourages children to interact with others and build social competence.
  • Emotional Expression: Provides a safe space for children to express and manage their emotions.
  • Symbolic Play: Activities that promote symbolic thinking and creativity.

Our monthly Stay and Play sessions are a highlight, offering parents and children the chance to learn and grow together through interactive play.
