Goodstart Clayfield’s educational leader Preston Warner said when a child started early learning, it was a great time for parents to learn new tips and strategies to promote their children’s social and emotional development.
Ms Warner has been trained to offer Triple P seminars to parents and carers with children attending their
centre, as well as to the wider community.
“I’m really enjoying the process and getting ready to facilitate seminars,” Ms Warner said.
Educators from Goodstart took part in the two-day training session, which included learning the Triple P theory, and how to present it to parents.
