Peep Families Connect Training

Peep Families Connect is a flexible evidence-based programme for using with parents of 3 - 7 year olds, to support their learning at home and in educational settings.

Aims – the Peep Families Connect Programme Training equips practitioners to:

use the programme as a flexible way to engage parents and build their confidence in using the programme's ideas and simple activities to support their child's development
expand your knowledge and skills in engaging and working with parents and carers
deliver Families Connect sessions with parents and children together, in one-to-one or group sessions

During the training: You will explore practical delivery ideas, strategies and resources, using the Peep Families Connect Programme. The training values and builds on your knowledge, skills and experience.

Online access to Peep Families Connect Programme resources: The training includes online access to the programme, full of practical ideas and activities. It contains eight group or 1-to-1 sessions, along with handouts, tips and video clips for you to share with parents and their children.

Families Connect is a copyrighted resource designed, developed, and owned by Save the Children Fund. During 2026 the Programme is transitioning from Save the Children to become a Peep programme, ensuring its long-term future. At Peeple, we share Save the Children’s commitment to giving every child the best start in life, with a particular focus on supporting under-resourced communities. Families Connect is a natural fit within our approach. The overall ethos, structure, aims and session topics will remain the same. We have reviewed some aspects including the training, and we look forward to sharing it with practitioners and families.

Who the Training is for:

Peep Families Connect is for any practitioners working with parents of 3 to 7 year old children, including in education and childcare settings or schools.
