How Families Connect helps
The Peep Families Connect Programme aims to strengthen:
- parent-child interactions
- relationships and engagement between parents and educational settings
- children’s early learning outcomes
Together, these contribute to narrowing the early learning attainment gap so that all children can reach their full potential.
Families Connect is an evidence-based programme that supports parental engagement in children’s learning, at home and at school. It offers practical ideas to enhance the quality of the home learning environment. The programme consists of eight sessions focusing on personal, social and emotional development, communication, literacy and numeracy. Activities are fun and free or low cost, and can be easily replicated by families at home.
Families Connect was developed and delivered by Save the Children for several years, and we’re delighted that it has now transitioned to Peeple, joining our wider suite of family programmes.
