Family Learning
Discover the joy of learning together with Family Learning Courses at Learn Devon.
Family Learning is all about fun, connection, and growth—for both you and your child. Whether you’re a parent, carer, or grandparent, our courses offer a unique opportunity to learn side-by-side with your children in a relaxed, friendly environment.
💡 Why join a Family Learning course?
Imagine learning new skills while spending quality time with your child. Our courses help you:
- Understand how your child learns at school
- Boost your confidence and digital, literacy, or numeracy skills
- Connect with other parents and carers
- Explore pathways into working with children or in schools
- And most importantly—have fun together
Children love seeing their grown-ups involved in their learning. It builds their confidence and strengthens your bond.
🎓 What are the classes like?
Our courses are short, practical, and welcoming. Some are just for adults, while others include children too—check the course details to see what suits you best. You’ll be supported by friendly, experienced tutors in a relaxed group setting.
Courses usually take place in primary schools, family centres, or community spaces. We provide most materials—you just need to bring your enthusiasm (and maybe a pen).

- Creative Coding with LEGO STEM – a playful way to explore coding with your child
