Parent, Baby and Toddler Groups
These are informal groups run in the local community. They are a place where you and your child can meet other parents and children. Childminders, grandparents and other carers are welcome to join too.
Benefits for You
Joining a local Parent, Baby and Toddler group will give you a chance to meet other parents with children the same age as yours. It is a chance for you to share tips, ideas and experiences.
Benefits for your child
Joining a Parent, Baby and Toddler group can also be a great way for your child to experience being part of a group of other children of the same age. It is a chance for them to experience a similar environment to an early learning and care setting. Having this experience can help them when they start attending an early learning and care setting.
The Health Service Executive (HSE) outline the benefits for both carer and child of joining a Parent Baby and Toddler group.
