There are so many different ways to encourage learning in your home.
Spending time with your children baking, planting, writing, reading, building, painting, making playdough and playing are all so important and provide many opportunities for learning.
These tasks provide opportunities to develop many skills such as language, maths and problem solving skills. They also give your child time to spend with you which is invaluable.
-Here we have also listed some useful websites should you wish to use them for further learning.
