Baby Volunteers needed ❤️

VOLUNTEER FAMILIES NEEDED
Attention families in Castle Douglas Do you have a baby aged 0-3 months by September 2026
Your family could make a lasting difference in the lives of children in your community!
Roots of Empathy is centred around your baby becoming the ‘Tiny Teacher’ in a classroom. Volunteer Parents bring their babies into a classroom, and guided by a Roots of Empathy Instructor, the children are encouraged to read your baby’s emotional cues and take your baby’s perspective, which can lead to the development of prosocial skills such as empathy and inclusion.

🚂 THE NEXT CHAPTER 🚂

As our time at St Andrews Street comes to a close, I'm excited to share that after the summer holidays, I will be taking up permanent residence at All Aboard at St Johns Annex, Castle Douglas.

Kaighley will be taking over alot of my toys and resources, and she has such a beautiful vision for the space that I'm sure we'll all feel right at home. 🫶

I am so proud of her for taking this leap of faith and opening her own venture. These special places for our little people are so important, and I know she will create something truly wonderful.

Wishing her all the luck and success in the world as she begins this exciting new chapter! ✨

I can't wait to see you all there. ❤️
