Family Learning
Family learning offers huge benefits to you and your child. It is all about learning together and helps you to understand how your child learns. Some family learning focuses on supporting you in your role as a parent or carer, with parenting skills and health and wellbeing. We offer lots of family learning in partnership with schools and other organisations, as well as courses and workshops at our centre in Arndale House and online.
Family Learning Courses
Our free* Family Learning courses and workshops for parents and carers are mainly delivered in schools and nurseries across Luton.
If you are a parent or carer, speak to the family worker in your child's school or nursery to find out if family learning is on offer there.
If you work in a school or nursery in Luton and are interested in working in partnership with us to deliver free* family learning courses and workshops to parents and carers in your setting, please go to our Family Learning Course page. to find out more about our offer.
We sometimes offer free* Family Learning courses and workshops in our centre in Arndale House in the school holidays to parents and carers with their children. We also sometimes offer online courses directly to parents and carers. The best way to find out what we have on offer is to follow us on social media.
