Be at the heart of your child’s learning during COVID-19
What is learning at home?
Learning at home is a broad term to describe the learning which happens outwith early learning and childcare settings and schools. It can take place through everyday activities including play and general family life, such as food preparation and cooking. It can also happen through curriculum related activities, homework, reading and sharing books.
Activities for learning at home can be specifically designed to help parents engage in their child’s learning and build upon the learning from early learning and childcare settings and schools.
Engaging in your child’s learning can make a real difference to how well they do. Making your home a positive home learning environment plays a big part in this, no matter what age your child is.
