Family Connect: learning together in everyday moments
Monday 5 October, 1pm - 2pm

⭐Join us to explore together how being present, playful and responsive, can help turn everyday experiences into meaningful learning⭐

Everyday moments are full of opportunities for learning. From putting on shoes to sharing a snack, children are constantly exploring, discovering, and making sense of the world around them.

When adults respond and join in, these simple moments become meaningful learning experiences. Talking together and following a child’s interests helps to build confidence, language, and understanding. These shared moments also strengthen relationships, support emotional wellbeing, and nurture curiosity and independence.
