Essential Information for Your Baby's First 18 Months
For busy aspirational parents ready to deepen their understanding through ongoing research and learning
The Foundation Years course equips busy aspirational parents with the scientific knowledge behind those crucial first 18 months, inspiring how you shape your family's development - and you. Built on "information without instruction," this programme recognises participants as capable researchers making informed decisions for their families.
Sessions are concise 90-minute formats at an easily accessible venue, with flexible online community engagement and self-directed learning at your own convenience.
Sessions offer evidence-based information as a springboard for more informed understanding and ongoing research. This isn't generic parenting advice - it's dependable knowledge that inspires how you shape your family's development, giving you the foundation to make decisions that truly matter for your child's best start in life. The collaborative approach builds on parents' existing knowledge through experiential learning methods.
