It was discovered that there was a need for a Friday toddler group in our local community. Elim Family Church Coatbridge took action, and Little Hearts was established in April 2022.
The demand was such that we started with one session and quickly progressed to two sessions starting at 9:30 AM and 11:15 AM. Each session runs for an hour and fifteen minutes and provides 25 pre-five places.
We provide a welcoming and relaxed place for everyone, from our tiniest babies to our more mature grandparents. As babies sleep the session away, it gives our parents time to connect and converse with others including our amazing volunteer team who are easily identifiable in their bright green T-shirts.
The format for each session is:
-
arrival and registration via the ramp at the side of the building. The cost is £3 per child and the first adult is free. For every other adult it is £1.
-
This is followed by free play in our well-equipped playroom. This includes ride on toys, a range of physical equipment, construction, role play, sensory activities and arts and crafts. Less precious clothing is advised as things can and do get messy!
-
During the session there are two snack time/coffee settings accommodated in our cafe courtesy of our kitchen team. There is tea and coffee, juice and water for our little ones, toast, pancakes, cake and fruit.
-
We encourage group tidy up time, followed by singing and action rhymes when our little hearts are wonderfully expressive! This is a favourite part of the day.
