The Horizon SureStart Developmental Programme is a government-funded initiative through the Department of Education, offered at no cost to parents, for two-year-old children living within the SureStart ward area.
We deliver 2 programmes, 1 in Carrick and 1 in Larne. The programme runs 3 days per week, with sessions lasting 2.5 hours each day.
The programme recognises the importance of the early years and acknowledges parents as the primary early educators, as they have the greatest impact on a child’s life. The aim is to support this role and help each child develop to their full potential.
Horizon SureStart Developmental Programme provides a child-centred, holistic environment that meets the individual needs of each child. In addition to usual play experiences, children will enjoy sensory play using natural and household materials, exploring in a safe environment with the support of trained staff.
