Here at Catrine ECC we are constantly looking for ways to support children and families not only in the centre but whilst at home too.
Between August and December we had numerous daily chats, settling in meetings for new starts, progress meetings for returning children and Team Around the Family (TAF) meetings with those who work in partnership with other agencies such as Speech and Language Therapists, Educational Psychologists, Health Visitor etc.
During these conversations and through observations made within the centre we wanted to offer opportunities to try best support families to achieve some of these developmental milestones.
Please follow the link below to book in or out to each of the sessions according to what you feel would be of benefit.
Tickets will go on sale at £1 a strip from Wednesday 4th December.
The draw will take place at the end of our Christmas Family Event on Thursday 19th December.Â
