Courses include:

  • Language development skills – through rhymes, stories, speaking and listening and the use of props.
  • Child Development – using the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage goals.
  • English – How do our children learn in school?
  • Maths – How is maths taught today? How can I help my child?
  • STEM – science and technology relating to everyday.
  • Wellbeing –How to support our children’s emotional development.
