Starcatchers

Starcatchers is Scotland’s Arts and Early Years organisation. We create performances and creative activities for babies and children from birth to 5 years and the adults who care for them.

We believe that young children have the right to access innovative, inspirational, high quality and age appropriate theatrical and creative experiences. Working with specialist artists, we produce beautiful and inspiring performances for very young children aged birth-5, and tour to venues and communities across Scotland and internationally.

We deliver engagement projects across Scotland, exploring the positive role that artists play in communities. Our projects are playful, welcoming and fun and aim to benefit the lives of young families by using the arts and creativity as a vehicle for improved infant-adult wellbeing, strengthened relationships, parental confidence, and to encourage early childhood development.

We deliver programmes of professional development for artists and early learning and childcare practitioners to develop their practice using arts and creativity with very young children. Our artist development opportunities are designed to enable artists who are seeking to develop their artistic practice when working with very young children and their parents and carers.
