Educational programs for your child to continue learning at home

While you take this time to bond more with your loved ones at home and get settled into a new routine, you may also be seeking other opportunities for your child to keep learning while on a temporary break from the classroom. It’s easy to get in the habit of allowing more screen time playing games or on social media, especially with the extended amount of time we have all found ourselves spending in the house. But try incorporating screen time that is more beneficial for them.

This pandemic has clearly altered the course of the school year for so many students, but you still have the ability to add structure back to their daily routine and ensure they are soaking up as much knowledge as possible!
