The nursery school has been participating in this project since October 2010.  The project, which was initially developed by the North Eastern Education and Library Board and nine local schools (two nursery, five primary and three post primary), established links between schools and families with the aim of ensuring positive relationships between parents /carers and young people.

The project involves partnership working among the schools in order to improve educational outcomes.

At Kylemore Nursery we are delighted to be involved in the project and see it as a positive experience that will offer benefits to our children their parents and the wider community.  This year this children will have the opportunity to participate in a dance programme led by outside provider Jump, Jiggle and Jive and speech and drama workshops with Be Unique Dance and Drama. 

The dance programme and speech and drama sessions will develop the children’s:

• Speech and language
• Emotional regulation
