We provide a confidential support service to families where there is at least one child under the age of 3 years.

Support worker are matched individually and work with each family in an appropriate manner. 

 All our services are registered with the Care Commission.  We are active partners in the GIRFEC (Getting it Right For Every Child) process (hyperlink to HCGiRFEC site) thus ensuring your child is SAFE, HEALTHY, ACHIEVING, NURTURED, ACTIVE, RESPECTED and RESPONSIBLE and INCLUDED.  This is referred to as SHANARI.  Our service is child focused and we endeavour to place the Child at the Centre of all our programmes.

FAMILY FIRST GROUPS

We provide a safe environment for children under 4 years and their parents.  Children benefit by interacting with other children and Learning Through Play.  Parents are supported by each other and from the staff.  You will gain confidence in dealing with a variety of issues that parents have to face.  We provide a home visiting service individually designed for each family.  Click here  to find a group near you.
Our volunteers are all family orientated and give their time and experience when it is suitable.

TODDLER GROUPS AND PROJECTS

Our toddler groups focus on adults and children under 3 years.  The groups allow children to learn and develop through innovative play while establishing strong and trusting relationships with parents, allowing them to make a positive contribution to the wellbeing of their child.

CALA staff will offer support and assist parents in establishing their own group.  When the group is fully operational, the Facilitators will develop an exit strategy allowing the groups to develop in their chosen direction.  To find a group near you click here.
