On receipt of a grant, we will contact headteachers in socio-economically deprived regions in England to let them know they can have THE BIG 3 + ME Personal, Social and Emotional Development programme for ages 3 to 5 at a heavily discounted price.
10 disadvantaged schools with children aged 3 to 5
We enable children aged 3 to 5 to gain essential social and emotional skills that are vital for learning. For many in this age group Covid-19 lockdowns mean they lack language, communication, social and emotional capabilities and so start falling behind. Our programme THE BIG 3 + ME sets children up for life, improving wellbeing and life chances - but schools need it and the training at prices they can afford - giving us a grant allows discounted prices for struggling schools.
About 60 children in 10 disadvantaged schools
