Support at our sessions (parent & baby/toddler) [20671]

Early Years Scotland (Dumfries)

Supporting our Family Engagement Practitioners (FEP) at our sessions for parents, babies and young children within community settings across Dumfries and Galloway.

In contrast to a typical nursery setting, the parents/carers stay with the children during these sessions engaging with our qualified practitioners – improving confidence, attachments, interactions, the home learning environment, transitions, and shared learning.

We have many exciting opportunities to volunteer at our different sessions such as Fit by Five which includes active/sport sessions, Womb to Move enhancing muscle movement, memory and motor skills and encouraging tummy time and then our staple Stay, Play & Learn sessions inside engaging in play and songs!
