For 2-4 year olds

Incredible Years Preschool Parent Programme

We run Incredible Years Preschool Parent Programme courses throughout the year. The programme runs 2 hour weekly sessions for 14 weeks in school term time. We also provide a free crèche for any other preschool children you may have. These courses support parents and carers with the following:

building their child’s language, academic, emotional and social skills to help them become ready for school
supporting their child to develop independent behaviours and routines, such as mealtimes, bedtimes, getting dressed and following house rules
managing behaviours such as tantrums, defiance and aggression

More information about this course can be found on our website
