Nurturing Curiosity and Joy in Learning in Early Years Home Education from Ages 0-5

Welcome to my Early Years home education resource! These formative years (ages 0-5) are all about nurturing curiosity through play, exploration, and gentle learning rhythms. As a home educator for over 20 years, I’ve discovered that these early days aren’t about formal lessons but creating a rich environment where learning happens naturally through everyday adventures.

On this page, you’ll find ideas for sensory play, early literacy activities, nature exploration, and simple maths games that lay foundations without pressure. Whether you’re just starting your home ed journey or looking for fresh inspiration, these resources celebrate the magic of learning alongside your little one at their own pace.
