Phase two aims to test a scalable and sustainable model of the program, in light of the results obtained from phase one. QRF will combine in-class learning with technology-assisted communication, to increase parental awareness of Early Childhood Learning and Development, and encourage positive parent-child engagement.

The Parental Education Program follows two learning models: the blended learning model, in which parents partake in face-to-face training sessions, and a virtual learning model where all material will be made available to the parents online.

Both of these models will utilize Facebook as a medium for sharing educational videos and information. QRF has commissioned the Behavioral Insights Team BIT to develop text messages that encourage participation in the program and engagement with its material.
