• SEAL - Pre School Parent and Toddler Group
  We developed the mobile classroom in early 2010, in order to encourage prospective parents and children to attend our school. We as group leaders supported parents and children as they worked together in small groups to develop early language and numeracy skills. We encouraged families to use good practice and to continue using the new skills learnt at school, at home.
