Early years development pack
£50.00
Practical, ready-to-use resources to help early years settings support children with Down syndrome, developed for our Early Years Development Programme EYDP.
Every child develops in their own time and way. This pack gives practitioners a toolkit of visual supports, communication boards and activity cards designed around how children with Down syndrome learn best. It’s built to be used alongside our EYDP guidance, so your setting can put evidence-informed practice into action straight away.
Inside, you’ll find resources to support early communication (from first sounds through to simple sentences), emotional understanding, daily routines like toileting, and early reading and maths. Practitioner guidance sheets are also included, covering vocabulary tracking, early sound work, and personal books, so your team knows how to get the most from each resource.
Everything is printed and ready to use in your setting from day one.
