Getting started
These sessions will give your whole team the opportunity to dream, discuss and plan what you want your toddler group community to become. This resource has been designed to take you on a journey, and we would recommend engaging with the sessions and development tools in order. However, each session can stand alone, if your time is limited and you want to focus on a specific area of development.
- You will find the session videos below, alongside our development tools and a downloadable session guide.
- You can choose to print or save the documents using the toolbar in your browser.
- When you completed the registration form an email will have been sent to the address you entered. There is a link on the email allowing you to return to this page whenever you wish.
We request that you do not share this page with anyone else – but that you ask anyone who would like to access to this free resource, to also complete the registration form and obtain their own access path.

Session 1: Vision
In this session, we discover the value and importance of having a vision, how to write, develop and share our vision, and how we determine our activities with our vision in mind. We’ve also created a simple Vision Development Tool to assist you in the process.
Session 2: Well-being
In this session we focus on the well-being of our team. We discover the value of authenticity as we seek to create an environment where we can be honest and open about what’s going on in our lives. Healthy toddler groups are run by healthy teams. For this session we’ve created a Team Culture Development Tool to help us create this team environment.
Session 3: Our team
In this session we delve into the practicalities of working together as a team. We’ll be talking about the different roles and responsibilities, what expectations we have as leaders and team members, and the various skills and strengths we all bring to the group. We have included a Volunteer Agreement Tool to help with this process.
Session 4: Our community
In this session we look at the different ways we can build and maintain those relationships with the families in our locality. We look at how we strengthen the connection to the local church and how we can bring faith into our group sessions. We have a Toddler Group Development Tool to help us look forwards and strengthen our next steps as a group.
