STEP STARTER SACKS
STEP Starter Sack home-play programme supports early learning for Gypsy/Traveller children. All families receive a series of ‘Sacks’, which contain learning activities to explore as a family. Activities come with QR codes that link to videos, making learning at home simple and fun. The programme is designed to link with early learning providers in local ares. It also reinforces play-based pedagogies and culturally-sustaining education for traditionally nomadic communities. Find more details by visiting the programme pages ‘For families’ and ‘For teachers’.
