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.
Enrollment Information: Recruitment and selection for the Sure Start Developmental Programme take place during the summer term. For more information or to apply, please visit our website or contact us directly. Sure Start is committed to providing a nurturing environment that supports the developmental needs of young children and prepares them for a successful transition to preschool.
