2-4 years (Maidstone) - Rising Star Sessions — 21 Together

Little Stars Six Sessions in Maidstone is a friendly, specialist group for babies aged 0 to 2 years and their families. Run by 21 Together’s Education team, these sessions focus on early social and communication development and are ideal for carers seeking targeted support for very young children, including those with Down's syndrome.

Each session covers practical skills such as Makaton signing, interaction techniques, early physical development and emotional support, while offering syndrome-specific advice and the opportunity to ask questions of experienced practitioners. Sessions are designed around the strengths and needs of each baby and also provide a relaxed space for parents and carers to socialise and share experiences with other families.

Term 2 runs every other Tuesday from 13 January 2026 to 24 March 2026, 12:45 to 13:45, at Maidstone Community Support Centre, 38 Marsham Street, Maidstone, ME14 1HH. Sessions cost £15 per session (£90 for the six-session programme) payable at the start. If this cost would prevent attendance, financial support is available on request. These supportive, specialist groups are a great way to build early communication skills and connect with local families in Maidstone.
