Activity Timetable Spring - Summer 2013
Activity Timetable Spring - Summer 2013 Course Information Baby Massage Welcome To Your Children’s Centre Well we have had our first successful year at ABC Children’s Centre and hopefully we have supported many of you in a number of different ways. Our services are still available to you from pregnancy right through to when your child goes into reception class at primary school. Over the past year we have brought on board and developed a number of new members to our team including two family workers. We are now currently working with a variety of support agencies to offer a range of services to meet you and your child’s needs, all under one roof. Children’s centres are somewhere you and your child can make friends and learn to play together. You can get advice on health and family matters, learn about training and job opportunities or just socialise with other people. Children’s centres fit the needs of the local community so no one children’s centre is the same. A five week course learning a full body routine. Parents will learn the routine, which has numerous health benefits and receive handouts each week so that they can perform the routine at home. The fully interactive sessions give babies a chance to socialise and parents to meet and make friends. Sign & Sing Classes A five week course delivered by Katja from Signing Babies for parents and their children to learn basic signs to help enhance their child’s confidence, self esteem and vocabulary. Babies can start to use signs as young as 5 months old and it can be used with older children to help them develop their speech and language skills. Katja uses fun and stimulating songs, rhymes, props and puppets to make this fully interactive session enjoyable for all. Stay and Play’s Our stay and play’s are opportunities for parents/ carers to come along and meet other people with young children. A variety of activities will be set up for all ages which may include messy play, role play and lot’s more. Why we are here: Bump 2 Babe • At ABC Children’s Centre we ensure that all parents and children are welcome and can use our centre. These are free antenatal classes run by midwives, health visitors, the infant feeding team and children centre staff. Sessions are for two hours per week for five consecutive weeks. They are for women who are 25 weeks plus pregnant. The aim of the classes are to prepare expectant parents for pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. • We are a ‘one stop shop’ for families with under 5’s and if we don’t know the answer we can point you in the right direction. • We believe that everybody’s opinion counts and we value all families. We listen to parents and children and will support you as individuals. • We provide a range of opportunities that aim to support families to be confident, happy and reach their potential. Most importantly we want you to enjoy your family and have fun! Anj Parmar, Deputy Manager Pram to Primary A six week course that aims to help you find different ways of looking at problems.
