Funky Tots is a creative parent/guardian and toddler programme designed to address the barriers to early years services experienced by fathers; offering an inclusive environment that welcomes all who participate.

Facilitators will introduce children aged 2 – 4 years to world music, street dance and song; providing a fun and interactive platform for them to embrace diversity, encourage self-expression and improve communication and the emotional connection between parents/guardians and their child.

Funky Tots introduces children to the world of street dance. This promotes diversity and encourages children to:
•    express themselves through music and song
•    improve communication 
•    gain a deeper emotional connection with their parent/carer

The project will:
•    develop and deliver Funky Tots to include more dads. They will empower them to be active and take part in activities with their children.
•    produce a range of resources for families to do at home. Aiming to improve speech/language and encourage active healthy living.
