HAWWC Boys Video Blogs: Setting Strategies & Practices

Less advantaged children who access a high quality, early education programme, achieve better outcomes and enter formal schooling with enhanced school readiness.

Early years settings which offer support for parents, alongside education and care for children, are more effective in developing school readiness and engaging families in the educative process at home and at school.

The following videos highlight the experiences of HAWWC boys' parents with their children's early years setting.
