The P Programme is for children aged 3-6 years. It is designed to help young children develop their social relationships, emotional regulation and to give them skills for school.
Foster carers with this age group are trained to help children to regulate their emotions, encourage their positive behaviour and celebrate their achievements. Children attend a playgroup where they are encouraged to learn and practice skills successfully via child-focused activities. They also receive individual coaching to further develop their skills.
When children leave MTFC-P and move to a permanent placement – either home to birth or extended family or to adoption or long term fostering – the team works to enable them to continue building on the skills the child has developed. They are also trained in behaviour contingency systems for young children.
