Welcome to The DELTA Parenting Programme
for parents of children from birth to 16 years

Developing Everyone's Learning and Thinking Abilities

The DELTA parenting programme aims to promote both the holistic development of children and their parent's self-esteem in order to enhance the parent/carer and child relationship. The logo, a triangle, (Greek letter 'D') symbolises 'Partnership with Parents'. DELTA operates on a multidisciplinary basis and actively promotes the importance of fathers in parenting.

The Delta programmes are being offered nationwide

Congratulations to our DELTA-tastic Parents

Each Monday night during April, a group of our P1 parents from Ballymacash have been meeting in school for a DELTA workshop.
Funded and organised by the SEELB, the parenting course helps to equip parents with the skills necessary to 'Develop Early Learning & Thinking Abilities' (DELTA) in their children. The course was facilitated by primary one teacher Mrs Allen and Mrs Keevsa Smith, a Primary/Early Years DELTA Project Officer from the SEELB. Topics covered included Learning through Play, Play and Mathematics, Speech and Language and Positive Parenting.
For all involved, it was a very worthwhile programme and one we would certainly hope to repeat in the future.
