Home is the primary learning environment for children. I’m filled with great joy every time I witness my children's genuine desire for learning and mastery. I believe parents are the best teachers for our children.
As parents, most of us want to devote more time to educating our children, yet it seems so much more difficult due to our busy daily tasks.
At Edkids Home, I will provide you with tips and ideas to translate daily activities into teaching moments, leading to a more enjoyable learning experience together. I will also help you enhance a learning and fun environment in your own home, minimizing your children’s screen time.
1. Foster Your Children's Desire For Learning With Activities and Ideas
I believe children will thrive to learn when the activities are as much fun as playing. As a result, I will apply my creativity to design activities that turn playing into learning.
You will find easy & fun educational activities that will boost your children's love of learning. No time to create activities? Not a problem! These activities require a very minimal amount of time and are easy for you to prepare.
There will be tips and tricks to translate your daily exercises/chores at home into teaching opportunities. These opportunities enable you to participate and engage with your children to build a strong family bond.
Check out my Blog for tips and activities.
2. Provide Free Printables/Resources in Multiple Languages
Creating digital arts and prints has been my passion ever since high school. I started making bilingual educational printables for my children to enjoy learning while having lots of fun playing.
At Edkids Home, you will find simple & aesthetic free printables. These minimalistic and beautiful printables can enhance your children's focus on learning and make us parents happy!
I also wanted my children to be multilingual. I started creating digital prints in various languages to meet language pairing needs. Therefore, these printables are available in multiple languages, including English, French, Chinese, and Korean. (I plan to expand more in the future!) You will find more Chinese activities throughout my blogs since our mother tongue is Cantonese.

3. Nourish a Minimalistic Learning Environment at Home
Ensuring your home has a positive learning environment plays a big role in how well your children will perform, regardless of their age.
Providing a positive home learning environment will encourage your children to be enthusiastic about learning, curious, and have confidence. Creating a simple and tidy atmosphere provides a calm, stress-free environment that will enhance everyone's mood and reduce distractions!
How is that possible? Don't worry! I will demonstrate different methods to enhance learning for your children yet maintain a clutter-free surrounding. Your kids will be occupied and entertained without screen times at home.

4. Plan and Organize With Free Tools and Templates
Life as a working mom is challenging. We have to juggle many things in our lives between tasks and duties. It is exhausting! One of the ways I cope with stress is to maintain a good life balance.
I feel accomplished every time I finish planning or achieving my goals. I would even develop a game to make it more fun and fulfilling! I have applied my professional skills to our homelife – especially for teaching my children and managing household matters! I hold a Project Management Professional certificate and work at the Project Management Office in the corporate world.
Having a good work-life balance is one of the core foundations for providing your children the love and attention they need to develop, learn and thrive. I hope I can also help you with my skills!
5. Find the Best Resources/Products
There are so many products/resources available for children's learning! It is tough to decide what is best for our kids when given many choices. At the same time, we have to be savvy shoppers by watching our budgets, yet we need to find what is best for our children.
I will share some of my favorite products and resources for you to enhance your children's learning as well as providing a great learning positive environment at home. Furthermore, I will also give you an honest review of the selected products and resources to support you.
