under 3's : Parent and Child Group

The Parent and Child Group runs for four half days per week, currently 0930 to 1230, Monday to Thursday.
The children in this group are between 2 and 3 years of age and work with their parent or carer throughout the session.
One of the most important aspects of this group is the parental involvement and great emphasis is place upon their role in their child's development.

The group aims to:

• Creat a happy and secure environment for the child and parent, in order that they will enjoy learning together.
• Give both the child and parent positive attitudes.
• Establish good looking, listening and communication skills.
• Establish good patterns of movement.
• Develop an upright posture with midline orientation and to promote hand function.
• Establish feeding, toileting and dressing routines.
• Introduce the child to an appropriate pre-nursery curriculum.

All aspects of the child's development are addressed and planning and recording are guided by the Scottish Executive documents such as, Education of Children Under 5 in Scotland and Curriculum Framework for Children in their Pre-school Year.
