Born Learning

Supporting Early Education

Children are “Born Learning” – that’s the mantra of a United Way Strategic Education Initiative that provides information to parents, caregivers and community members about the importance of early learning to children’s later success in school and life.

By providing materials to local agencies, child care providers, clinics and libraries throughout the region, Born Learning seeks to inspire the community to explore ways to turn every day moments into rich learning opportunities for children aged birth to five.

Born Learning materials are available at more than two dozen agencies and child care providers.

Helping Young Moms Get Their Kids Ready to Learn

“I have found the Born Learning materials to be a valuable addition and supplement to the curriculum I teach at the GRADS program of Evergreen High School, which helps pregnant and parenting students stay in school until graduation. Students have found the material easy to understand and fun to read. I particularly appreciate the pamphlets title “Ten Simple Ways to Encourage Learning” and “The Playbook” that give my students practical, easy to implement suggestions to help their children be ready to learn.”
