FAMILY LEARNING
It’s a fact that the time you spend with your child has far more of a positive impact on their development than anything else in their lives, but it’s not always easy to find ways to excite and interest them at home.
The good news is that there are literally hundreds of opportunities in Gosport to have fun with your family and help them learn about the world around them and they are taking place right now in schools, children’s centres, museums, libraries and other outdoor places. Many are also free to take part.
All the activities listed here are open to any family in Gosport unless otherwise stated, some may have age recommendations so please check with the provider.
If you are an organisation providing family activities and would like them listed here please contact us with details.
