Learning at Home

You can help your child succeed by providing a home that encourages learning, but what does that mean? First and foremost it means covering the basics:

  • Food
  • Clothing
  • Shelter
  • Transportation, and
  • Medical Care

Once these "Safety & Security" needs are in place, parents can direct more energy toward helping their children learn.  The very first steps are to READ to children and provide a quiet place and regular time for homework.

The second step is to get Out & About with your children.
