My research shows very clearly the vital role parents and families have in supporting their children’s learning and development at home. The blend of high quality early learning in centres and parents’ supporting their children’s development through a stimulating home learning environment is a sure recipe for children achieving the best outcomes for both learning and well-being. As an International Thought Leader for Goodstart Early Learning I am delighted that the organisation is being proactive in offering support to all of Australia’s families through providing ideas, prompts and guidance in extending children’s learning in the home.

As one of Goodstart’s international thought leaders I give my support to this website. The home learning environment plays a crucial part in a child’s learning and development so it is great to see that Goodstart are reaching out to parents in this vital area.
