Born Learning Trail Locations

and caregivers of young children understand that the early years are important, yet many aren’t sure how to encourage early learning, or feel they don’t have time to do what it takes to help their child succeed in school. Many communities are concerned about children coming to school unprepared, but aren’t coming together to give parents more choices and children more opportunities.
In response, United Way Worldwide is partnering with the Ad Council, Civitas and Families and Work Institute to create Born Learning, an innovative public engagement campaign that helps parents, grandparents and caregivers explore ways to turn everyday moments into fun learning opportunities.
United Way YPs are helping by adopting Born Learning Trails as one of their outreach projects. These trails are installed in public places where a caregiver may take a child – parks, grocery stores, laundromats, etc. Each trail is made up of 10 activity stations that encourage the adult to engage the child in a learning opportunity.
