The programme aims to provide intensive support services for children aged under 4 years old and their families. The focus of the programme is on promoting:

- social and emotional skills
- physical development
- early identification of high needs
We do this through the delivery of health support and guidance, parenting support and groups and speech, language and communication support and quality part-time childcare for 2 to 3 year olds.
