Chorleywood & Loudwater Children's Centre

What is family learning?
Family learning describes activities:

where family members learn together – this could be mothers, fathers, grandparents or anyone who cares for the child
that are short workshops, for example on messy play or making puppets or part of a longer programme.
where there are planned learning outcomes for both children and adults.

Benefits of family learning include:

Improved educational outcomes for children
An effective way of engaging parents in their children’s learning and in the life of the setting
Improved communication between parents and practitioners and more continuity between the setting and home
A first step back into learning for parents
Improved relationships between parents and children.
