Our Programmes

The experiences in the early years set the foundation for
future development. It is important to give children
#AGoodStart.

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
