With a little planning, families can help children keep learning, stay calm, and feel supported during school breaks.
Keep a steady routine. Regular times for waking up, meals, chores, and fun activities help kids feel safe and balanced.
Make learning part of the day. Read together, try simple experiments, cook, or play learning games.
Use local community resources. Libraries, parks, museums, and recreation programs offer low-cost learning fun.
Support emotional well-being. Playdates, family outings, and calm activities can help kids manage feelings.
Review school supports. Breaks are a good time to look at IEPs or 504 Plans and connect with school staff.
Prepare for the return to school. Reset sleep schedules and review past schoolwork to ease the transition.
