Benefits of home learning for children

Learning at home has significant benefits for your child, and for yourself! Online tutoring programs and learn at home games for math, reading, phonics, and more, help you make the most of your time, and help your child view education as a family activity. Read below for some additional benefits.

• Home learning is efficient. No need to waste time or money on gas or babysitters—all learning occurs from the convenience of your own home.
• Home learning encourages your child’s independence. Let your child set the schedule on how many tutorials they can take online in one evening—or have them set goals for themselves for how many books they can read in a week. Your child won’t feel the pressure of having to do something their teacher told them to do—it’s all up to them.
  
• Home education increases important family time. If your child has questions—or just wants to show off anything new they’ve learned—you’ll be right there!
  
• Learning at home equals better control of educational content. As a parent, you really won’t know exactly what teachers teach your child in the classroom. You can choose tutorials and learning games that concentrate on areas you feel are appropriate for your child. Or, you and your child can pick out games and tutorials together—again increasing the bond between you and your child.
  
• Home learning means your child can study in the comfort of their own home—without pressure from other children at school (who may tease children who are falling behind), and without the intimidation of their teachers. Your child can feel free to take breaks as they choose, and study in an area they feel comfortable with—their bedroom or the Education Play Zone you’ve created for them.
