First 5 Forever program
Make talking, reading, singing and playing with your child part of your daily routine – any place, any time
Up to 90% of a child’s brain development happens in the first five years. The more you talk, read, sing and play with your child the more their brain responds. As your child's first teacher you play crucial role in building the foundation they require for future learning.
Every day take the opportunity to:
- read and share books
- sing songs, nursery rhymes and lullabies
- talk to your child and expose them to new words
- play together with blocks, puzzles or toys.
