Parenting programmes in the early years provide the best opportunity to promote children’s learning and development and minimise the negative effect of poor parenting and their subsequent costs to society.

Our Approach

At the centre of the Spaces4Learning’s workshops approach is seeing the individual within his/her environment, and a dialogical understanding of learning.

We expect the workshop to cover the following

• The parental role in the early years and its importance
• A better understanding of how children learn and how to support them
• Foster parents’ agency (knowledge, attitudes and practice)

This will bring about the following outcomes for children and parents:

• Successful parental engagement in their children’s learning
• Improved children’s readiness for school
• Increased children’s development and well-being
• Enhanced parent-child relationships
• Improved parental satisfaction and well-being
