Early years are the foundation years for growing, developing and learning.
As parents are a child’s first teachers and play a key role in setting them up for a good start in life, KidSTART partners parents to empower them to be confident caregivers and be equipped with the knowledge and skills to:
– Build warm nurturing relationships with their children
– Support the age-appropriate development of their children
– Care for the health and social wellbeing of their children in their early years
