Home learning environment

A child's home learning environment is all about the interactions parents have in and around the home with their children, from birth. The quality of the home learning of a child is a key predictor of a baby’s and/or child’s early language ability and future success. There's support available for parents and carers to help create a positive and nurturing home learning environment.
