Parenting
Children don't come with an instruction book and every one is different.The pre-school offers its own support to parents/carers through informal chats and a monthly get together with other parents to share the ups and downs of parenting and look at solutions and share advice.
"Tantrums and Tiaras" usually meets on the third Wednesday of the month from 12:00 - 13:00. Children are welcome to stay for lunch so that parents can go to the meeting. Please check calendar page or the parents board at pre-school for actual dates.
The links below offer access to advice about parenting and cover issues such as toileting, sleeping, eating, behaviour etc.
