Family Learning

Whole family learning is an approach that involves not just the child but also their family in the educational process. This concept recognizes that a child’s development is deeply influenced by their family environment, and therefore, engaging the entire family in learning activities can enhance the child’s growth, both academically and socially.

Important focus on the following:

  • Family Engagement
