Polkadots Newsletter ~ Volume 1

Start a Pod!

You and your child or children, can form your own learning Pod and use Podules to help them learn in a familiar environment! You can also form a Pod with several friends who have children of similar ages so parents and children are learning alongside friends and peers.

A Polkadots Learning Pod is created when a small group, with between three and six children attending, meets together on a regular basis. The idea is that children maximize their learning when they are in a small group, in a familiar place and with familiar people. Some of our Pods meet on a weekly basis to learn together and give their children interaction with their peers. Some meet every couple of days. They then use the Podule materials on their own at home during the rest of the week. However often you choose to meet as a Pod is flexible but it means you have support from others who have the same vision for their children, you can share the teaching and activities and you and your child get to learn with friends and peers.
