Get Connected!

In order for family-centered, out-of-school learning to make a real change in education, we need you to help us start the ball rolling by sharing your ideas, your experiences, and maybe a learning video of an activity that has worked in your home. Let's get this conversation started, across the country and around the world.

Parents are the key

Studies consistently show that the activities of everyday family life are more powerful than income, educational background, or even the quality of school in determining children's success in learning. It's not what parents have, but what they do that makes all the difference

Even a little works

Parents are busy people. That's why it is good to know that even a little family-centered, out-of-school learning pays big dividends for children, and for their families, too. When parents and children enjoy one learning activity together, they want to do more.

Everybody knows something

Did a parent or a grandparent or a favorite teacher show you a special "trick" that helped you learn something or understand something in a new way? Now you can share that learning aid with others, across the country or around the world.

We are available to present to your parent group, teacher seminar, scouting troop, or church gathering. Find out how family-centered learning activities can help children succeed in school while they help families grow closer and stronger.
