Pre School Training – Ensuring a Positive Start

This session is designed for nursery/pre-school staff and parents of pre-school children aged 0–5. It will explore the learning profile associated with Down syndrome and how this can influence early development and learning. We will share practical strategies to help every child reach their full potential and support a strong foundation for future learning.

Topics will include:

• The importance of maintaining high expectations from the start
• Positive behaviour strategies for home and pre-school, including the importance of visuals
• Toilet training approaches and strategies
• Guidance on choosing the right school setting

A supportive session aimed at building confidence and consistency between home and early years settings as well as an opportunity to understand evidence-based research on supporting children with Down syndrome to reach their full potential.
