Parental Engagement and Relationships

Interested in engaging with and supporting parents in your Early Learning and Care Service?

CDI have been supporting parents in a number of early learning and care services in Tallaght for over ten years. 

We have developed a Continuous Professional Learning Programme, entitled PEAR – Parental Engagement and Relationships. 

PEAR aims to assist frontline staff and management of ELCs to enhance parental engagement.  

Due to the ELC closures brought about by Covid 19, CDI are learning that many parents are feeling apprehensive about managing their child’s transition from home back to the ELC setting or from home to primary school.

We are inviting ELC practitioners and managers to join us in a two hour online training focusing on

‘Supporting Transitions’

In this training we will focus on the area of transitions and cover a range of material including

·      Defining transitions & exploring key transition phases in children’s lives;

·      How to support families in managing transitions;

·      School Readiness;

·      The role of the child in the transition process.

Venue:        This is an online training module delivered via Zoom
