How we can create meaningful connections between home and early education

Children bring a wealth of knowledge and experiences from home into early childhood settings. When educators recognise and build on these strengths, they create deeper connections that foster belonging, confidence, and continuity in learning. 

This article explores how educators can strengthen these connections through a funds of knowledge approach, which is described in the EYLF as a virtual 'back pack' of a child's life experiences and knowledge that they bring to a service.
