At Ladela Schools, we believe that learning doesn’t stop at the school gates. In fact, a child’s best academic and personal growth happens when school and home work hand in hand. While our teachers provide structure, mentorship, and high-quality instruction during the school day, parents play a critical role in reinforcing learning at home.
If you’re wondering how to better support your child’s learning outside the classroom, here are practical, effective tips straight from our experience at Ladela Schools:
- Create a Consistent Study Routine
Children thrive on structure. Setting a regular time for homework and study each day helps build discipline and reduces last-minute rush. Create a calm, distraction-free space where your child knows it’s time to focus. You don’t need a fancy study room—just a quiet corner with the essentials: good lighting, school supplies, and a comfortable chair.
Tip: Keep gadgets away during study time unless they’re being used for school work.
- Show Interest in Their Learning
One of the simplest but most powerful things you can do is ask your child about their day. What did they learn? What was exciting or confusing? When children know their parents are interested, they become more confident and motivated.
You don’t have to understand every subject. Just listening, asking questions, and praising their efforts makes a big difference.
- Communicate with Their Teachers
At Ladela, we encourage open, respectful communication between teachers and parents. Don’t wait for the end-of-term report to check in. Whether your child is struggling or excelling, staying in touch with their teachers helps you stay aware of their progress and how you can support them better.
Attend parent-teacher meetings, respond to updates from school, and don’t hesitate to ask questions when something is unclear.
- Reinforce Classroom Learning at Home
When children see that what they learn in school matters in real life, they become more engaged. Try to connect school topics to daily life. For example, if they’re learning fractions, involve them in measuring ingredients when baking. If they’re reading literature, discuss the story with them or ask them to tell you what they think about a character.
Learning becomes more exciting when it feels relevant.
- Encourage Independence
Your child’s education is their journey, and one of the greatest gifts you can give them is the ability to take responsibility for it. Support them, but don’t hover. Allow them to try, make mistakes, and solve problems. If they forget an assignment or get a lower grade, help them reflect on what to do differently, rather than rushing to fix it for them.
At Ladela, we are committed to nurturing resilient learners, and we encourage parents to do the same at home.
- Model a Love for Learning
Children learn more from what they see than what they’re told. If you read books, explore new ideas, or show curiosity, your child is more likely to adopt the same mindset. Let learning be a family culture—not just something that happens at school.
You can even study or work alongside your child during their homework time. It shows that learning is a lifelong habit.
- Prioritize Rest, Nutrition, and Play
Academic success is not just about study time. Ensure your child gets enough sleep, eats balanced meals, and has time for unstructured play. A healthy, happy child is far more likely to learn effectively than a tired or stressed one.
At Ladela Schools, we promote a holistic approach to education—nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. We encourage parents to embrace the same balance at home.
Your involvement at home has a lasting impact on your child’s growth. You don’t need to be a teacher to be their most important teacher. Just being present, supportive, and engaged is enough to lay a solid foundation for lifelong success.
Together, as a team; school and family, we can empower every Ladela learner to reach their highest potential.
