GETTING READY TO LEARN

We are currently taking part in the project ‘Getting
Ready to Learn’. The Getting Ready to Learn
project seeks to support pre-school settings to
encourage and develop parental involvement in
children's early learning, to ensure maximum
parental contribution at a crucial time in children's
early brain development. It is focused on improving
outcomes for children in pre-school by engaging
and empowering parents to help them create and
sustain positive home learning environments. We
are participating in three key themes to support
parents.
