Here’s our perspective on one important aspect of managing learning from home - time!

Tip #1 - Time
Provide structure and consistency. Routines give kids a sense of security and help them develop self-discipline.

Create a daily schedule. Identify goals, school deadlines and family priorities when making your schedule.
Add time for everything you want to achieve, class, free reading period, fun, exercise, “math around the home”, meals etc. Don’t forget to schedule lots of short breaks to reset your little one’s ability to focus.
Stay on track by entering important events into Google Calendar and turning on alerts.
