Portage Pre-School Support Service (PPS) - Dorset Council

Portage Pre-School Support Service (PPS) supports children and families at any time from birth to the end of the first term at school. We work in partnership with early years settings. A portage consultant visits you regularly in your home or your child's early years setting. They discuss and plan appropriate learning experiences with parents and early years practitioners. These experiences support your child to enjoy learning through play. Children who use this service may have a range of educational or medical needs. We understand that needs change over time, so the level and type of support needs to change to meet these needs.
