- Service summary
-
The Peep Learning Together Programme (LTP) values and extends what parents/carers already do to support their child's learning in everyday life. Peep is a strengths-based approach to working with families, focusing on doing with rather than doing to parents.
Peep-trained practitioners share the Peep Learning Together Programme (LTP) with families through conversations and joint activities focusing on aspects of children's learning and development.
Peep sessions are for parents/carers and children together. Each session is based on a child development topic, which contains:
- talk time, to discuss key ideas with parents and carers relating to the topic focus
- songs and rhymes
- books and stories
- ways to put ORIM into action (Opportunities, Recognition, Interaction, Modelling)
- play activities (during the session and/or ideas to try at home).
Peep sessions raise awareness and model how singing, talking, playing and sharing books and stories together help strengthen relationships and develop children's listening, talking and later literacy. Families also consistently report that Peep sessions are fun, increase their confidence (both adults and children) and provide an important source of ideas and support from the practitioners and other families.
