Why?

  • Employee health and well-being become a central part of any HR and job satisfaction strategy
  • Parenthood has changed, now parents are expected to become partners in their children’s learning
  • Parental involvement is critical for supporting children’s development and wellbeing
  • Only 25% of the population are aware of the importance of the early years in children’s life, there’s an urgent need to change societal attitudes towards the Early Years
