I am super passionate about the children’s activities industry and its power to strengthen family bonds and support early development. At Little Learners, many grandparents join our sessions, bringing immense value through their unique connection with their grandchildren. By learning and exploring together, they enrich the experience for little ones while fostering their own growth. The Grandparents Welcome National Framework is an exciting opportunity to break down barriers and encourage more grandparents to participate in these transformative activities.
