At Davina True Vine Nursery & Primary School, we believe that a love for learning is one of the greatest gifts you can give a child. When children enjoy learning, they become curious, confident, and motivated to explore the world around them. But how can parents and caregivers nurture this joyful attitude toward learning from the early years?
Here are five simple yet powerful ways.
1. Make Learning Fun
Children learn best when they’re enjoying themselves. Turn everyday moments into playful learning opportunities — count fruits while shopping, read signboards together, or sing educational songs.
Play-based learning helps children develop problem-solving skills naturally while keeping them excited about discovering new things.
2. Read Together Daily
Reading is the foundation of all learning. Spend at least 10–15 minutes each day reading aloud to your child. Use expressions, ask questions, and discuss pictures.
When reading becomes a special bonding time, children start to associate books with warmth, imagination, and joy.
3. Praise Effort, Not Just Results
Children gain confidence when their effort is recognised, not just their grades. Celebrate small victories — like trying a new word or finishing a drawing.
This helps them understand that learning is a process, not a performance. At DTVS, we focus on growth and progress, not perfection.
4. Create a Positive Learning Environment
Set up a quiet, colourful space for your child to study or do creative activities. Keep distractions (like TV or phones) away and make learning materials accessible.
A calm, inviting space encourages focus and creativity — key ingredients for loving to learn.
5. Be a Role Model
Children imitate what they see. Let them see you reading, exploring, and showing curiosity. Talk about new things you’ve learned or interesting facts you discovered.
When learning becomes a shared family value, it inspires them to follow your example.
🌱 In Summary
Helping your child love learning isn’t about pushing academics early — it’s about making learning a lifestyle. Encourage curiosity, celebrate effort, and make discovery fun every day.
At Davina True Vine Nursery & Primary School, our goal is to raise confident, God-fearing leaders who see learning as an adventure, not a task.
We invite you to be part of that journey.
