Peep Programmes
Peep programme help parents, carers and
practitioners work together to improve
young children’s learning and development
Peep programmes focus on:
- sharing activities and information about child development that parents can easily use in everyday life
- strengthening relationships – between parent and child, families and practitioners
- valuing and building on what families already do.
Each programme contains child development information and low or no-cost activities, session plans, parent handouts and other resources. They are delivered by Peep-trained practitioners in group or 1-to-1 sessions with parents, carers and their babies or children, or with expectant parents.
Peep programmes can be used flexibly to meet local needs and support the home learning environment.
Our Practitioner Training courses covers the ‘why’, ‘what’ and ‘how’ for delivering each programme with families.
