"...the tasks are short and easy to understand. I like that the app does not require me or my child to use a screen but rather the tasks can be completed during every day life and conversation. The tasks gave me new ideas (to) support my child’s learning and development.

The Family Learning App uses technology to provide a daily nudge helping parents enrich the home learning environment. In less than 2 minutes of screen time parents pick up a play based daily activity tailored to the developmental needs of their child 👶 🧒 #earlyyears
A study of 11,000 UK children found that those with poor vocabulary skills aged 5 were twice as likely to be unemployed or have reading difficulties or mental health problems as adults (Law et al, 2009). It's never too late to help, but it's much easier the earlier we start.

Our approach builds on research like this and uses digital devices to nudge parents and care givers towards enriching activities. Contact us for more info or visit out site.
The more words that babies and young children hear - through us talking and sharing stories with them in day-to-day life - the easier it will be for them to learn to talk and understand lots of words. This will help them not only in school but for the rest of their life.
