‘A Support Guide to Developing & Running a Parent & Toddler Group’

Kerry County Childcare Committee has developed a support guide for Parent & Toddler Groups in Kerry.

‘A County Childcare Committee Support Guide to Developing & Running a Parent & Toddler Group’ was developed to help anyone wishing to set up a parent and toddler group or those currently running one; to ensure a quality service is provided that runs smoothly and conveniently for all the children and parents attending.

The guide is also about celebrating the vital role that Parent & Toddler groups perform in Kerry. They provide a welcoming place for all parents, carers and childminders to make friends and feel supported. Groups can be the basis for developing long-lasting relationships for young families looking for friendship and support.  They are a place where children can learn to interact with other children and develop social skills. Parent & Toddler Groups can be a starting point to go forward, maybe branching out into parenting groups and other supportive courses. Ultimately, parent and toddler groups make a great contribution to the life of a community.

Kerry County Childcare Committee has also developed a Parent & Toddler Information Leaflet for parents. The leaflet answers questions like what a Parent & Toddler group is; who a Parent & Toddler group is open to, what happens at a Parent & Toddler group meeting and much more.

If you want to find out more about our support guide, information leaflet or to get a copy of both, please contact Pamela on 066 7181582 / info@kerrycountychildcare.com
