Every Child A Talker (ECAT)
Little Stars Pre-School are part of ‘Every Child a Talker’ (ECAT) Programme. This programme is designed to strengthen all children’s language development by ensuring we are providing a developmentally appropriate, supportive and stimulating environment in which children can enjoy experimenting with and learning language. We work in partnership with parents to determine next steps for individual children.

Reading Connects
Little Stars Pre-school is proud to be chosen as one of the five settings in Harrow taking part in the Early Reading Connects project in conjunction with the Early Years Team. This project emphasises on the importance of reading to your child and how this will help your child with their language development. ‘The purpose of the project is to develop a range of visual materials, pertinent to Harrow to inspire practitioners in other settings with using the Early Reading Connects materials. The initial aim is to disseminate information to 6 already good-outstanding settings. These settings will be asked to trial the materials and also develop their own support and case study materials. The project will be presented as a way of enhancing already effective practice’ (Early Years and Community Services)
