Ensuring your child gets a good education isn't just about what they're taught at school. Your child also needs to be ready to learn, so helping to prepare them for school is important too. This can include many things, from instilling a love of learning in your child and teaching them good manners to making sure they get a good night's sleep and a nutritious breakfast so that they're ready to learn every morning.
