Parents can make a huge positive impact on the way their kids learn and there are lots of things parents can do to help them get the most out of school.

But what and how much should parents be doing? What are the best strategies to use at home? What's going to make the most difference? Where can parents get practical tips and ideas?

This is where APC can help parents. Our Successful Learning in the Early Years workshops are designed to help parents help their kids. They concentrate exclusively on what you can do at home to support your child's development of reading, writing and numeracy.  The program sets you up to work in partnership with teachers, so young students can make the best possible start at school.

They are delivered by qualified and experienced facilitators and are suitable for parents, parent groups, pre-schools, schools and community groups.

• Practical ways that parents and families can and do learn at home 
• The way schools teach reading, writing and numeracy
• Reading and writing conventions and how to respond to children’s early literacy
• Developmental milestones
• Positive communication and relationships between parents and teachers

The workshops encourage parents to:

• appreciate their powerful role as first educators and co-educators
• build confidence and competence to actively encourage children’s learning
• actively and positively partner with teachers.

Contact APC for details on the workshops or if you'd like to be trained as a facilitator.
