Inspiring creativity for

babies & toddlers in Scotland

www.starcatchers.org.uk

Starcatchers is a pioneering organisation that specialises in

performances and creativity for babies, toddlers and young
children aged 0-5 and their parents and carers in Scotland.
We believe that Scotlands youngest citizens should be able
to engage with, and participate in, high quality performances
and creative experiences that are made by exceptional artists
who understand the needs of this unique audience.
Our work is designed to nurture young childrens creative and
cognitive development, sparking their imaginations.
We do this through 3 strands of activity:
Creative Development and Community Engagement
a programme to connect artists into communities, supported
by research and development measuring the long-term impact
this engagement has on the babies, toddlers and children they
work with.
Producing and Commissioning a programme to eneable
artists to develop and present innovative, high quality, inspiring
productions and installations to share with audiences cross
Scotland and beyond.
Practice Development a programme of training for
Early Years practitioners and artists to develop their creative
practice, which in turn has an impact on the children and
families they work with.
Our long-term goal is to raise the profile of arts and creativity
in Early Years to ensure that all of Scotlands youngest children
have access to high quality, innovative, experiences.
