The Peep Learning Together Programme (LTP) values & extends what parents/carers already do to support their child's learning in everyday life. Peep is a strengths-based approach to working with families, focusing on doing with rather than doing to parents: https://t.co/sdgCLVPJBc

@Alibali1998 Congratulations Allison! I’m forever grateful to yourself and all the other fabulous ladies that helped care and nurture my wee Amy B when she was at Camelon nursery. I also feel very lucky to have worked alongside you later on too 💛

“I’m not a stick, why can’t you see?!”

[Peeple @PeepleCentre]

A stick is never just a stick!

Heuristic play is exploratory play & this early experimentation helps children to learn about the physical world around them. Children don't just play with toys, they play as part of their everyday life!

Busy but fabulous holiday with my family in sunny Florida. Home time to chill for the remainder of the summer holidays 🥱☀️🤩

[Debbie Buchanan @DebbieBee2020]

@stfrancisp5 It’s been a great year, Amy has loved P5! Thank you!

[Debbie Buchanan @DebbieBee2020]

Absolutely 💯

School readiness isn’t about counting & phonics but rather everyday skills & early concepts which can be practiced at home in fun, everyday opportunities. Parents are their child’s first teacher, let’s support them being the best that they can ❤️
