Buckle up for a delightful journey into the world of play with your little ones! From tiny newborns to curious toddlers, every playful moment is an opportunity to nurture their development and create lasting bonds. This guide, inspired by resources from UNICEF, the LEGO Foundation, and ISSA, offers a wealth of simple and free activities designed to engage children up to three years old.

In today's evolving societal roles, a father’s journey as a full-time caregiver to his two daughters shines as a powerful example of how playful parenting and engaged fatherhood can profoundly impact the parent-child relationship. Anne Çocuk Eğitim Vakfı (AÇEV) interviewed Özgehan Omağ, known as EnBaba in social media (name roughly translated: the best dad).

Since 2019, the LEGO Foundation has partnered with UNICEF to scale up playful partnering in Serbia. Playful parenting, where parents and caregivers actively engage in quality play and reading with their children, is crucial in fostering brain growth and lifelong learning, leading to improved developmental and learning outcomes.

The Module “The care of small and/or sick newborns” is intended to support home visitors in providing advice and support to parents and families of small and/or sick newborns before and after the discharge from health facilities. Part 1 provides information about supporting families while the baby is still in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Pediatric ward.

This module presents key information on what you can do as a service provider to help parents understand the importance of quality early childhood education and care (ECEC). The information and guidance presented in this module is most applicable to parents and teachers of ECEC-aged children, and particularly those aged between 3-6 years. The aim of this module is to enhance and update your knowledge regarding the value and importance of young children attending high-quality, inclusive preschool programmes and how you can support parents in this matter.
