The Smart Start Programme has been carefully developed to equip all Early Learning and Childcare practitioners and parents with the tools and confidence to enjoy delivering a crucial aspect of all children’s learning and development. As practitioners and parents supporting children’s early development, you are in a position to make a significant positive difference to children’s lives and the choices they make later on.

The programme has been split into two packages:

• Package A = for all practitioners working with 3 to 5 year olds in Highland Early Learning and Childcare Centres.
• Package B = for practitioners working with toddlers, young children and their families in Highland years.
