Literacy and Numeracy Tips to Help Your Child Every Day

Families are the most significant influence on their children's learning, development, health, safety and wellbeing.  The Victorian Government Education and Training have published a guide to assist parents and carers of children from 0-12.  Some great ideas and support for families to engage with their child's development can be found here.

Your family can play a key role in helping the child in your care prepare for school, and then succeed when they reach school.
