As a primary teacher, I thought I'd be fully prepared to support my childrens learning when they began school. I had the knowledge, the years of teaching experience and the understanding of literacy and numeracy learning - so how could it be any different to teaching other people's children?

WELL - did I learn a lesson. When my son started Year One last year, I found it to be a very different experience to the one I had expected. I found my role as a parent supporting my son very different to that of a teacher.

In talking to parents, I also came to realise that there is terminology, processes and programs that they do not fully understand or know about. This and the importance of a parents role in a childs learning inspired me to create a website.

I have put together information, tips, strategies and learning resources to make education a more enjoyable and uncomplicated experience for you and your child.

I believe literacy and numeracy are very significant in learning - literacy being a favourite area of mine - but they can be areas that children dislike. We really wanted to create information so parents can undersand early literacy and numeracy and the activities you can do everyday at home to encourage and support your child.

All children learn differently, have special interests and move at different speeds through their education, BUT the bottom line is kids learning is fundamental and we can play an important part in it and help make it fun!!!
