ABC Start Right is an early intervention and prevention programme for parents and children from pre-birth to 6 years.
We work in partnership with families, Early Years services, primary schools, and statutory, voluntary and community organisations in Limerick city.

Across all working areas, ABC Start Right facilitates key transitions for parents and children (home to crèche, crèche to preschool, preschool to primary school) by building networks between parents, EY services and schools. It also disseminates positive, non-judgmental parenting messages by press, website, social media, audio-visual and printed materials.
