Details

The Gaelic Early Years Grants scheme is specifically designed to be as accessible as possible to voluntary early years groups that support parents, families and children aged 0-3 years, to encourage and increase the day to day use of Gaelic, and to encourage continuity into Gaelic education.

This year’s scheme would specifically like to support groups that can show how they will achieve the following:

• Ensuring that children and families have sustained access to Gaelic early years provision
• Increasing the number of children continuing with Gaelic-medium learning at key transition stages
• Helping more families in Scotland become aware of the benefits of bilingualism and the opportunities offered by Gaelic-medium education
• Helping parents become better informed on resources and opportunities to support and interact with their children through Gaelic in homes and communities
