Did you know that 90 percent of our brains are “hard-wired” by age 5?
Early learning is a critical part of childhood development—and it can happen anywhere, at any time. That’s why we developed United Way Born Learning Trails.
The Born Learning Trail turns everyday experiences into teachable moments.
This interactive, paved pathway contains signs in English and Spanish with instructions for simple games that will turn an excursion at the park into fun learning moments for young children.
The trail’s theme of Watch! Stop! Learn! Play! encourages parents and caregivers to follow the child’s lead, building the child’s curiosity and confidence, and reinforces learning opportunities present in everyday life.
The Born Learning Trail supports language, literacy and social skills development, and reminds us that learning can be fun!
Why Born Learning Trails?
We know increased investment in pre-K development fosters healthy growth, decreasing the likelihood of children being affected by various other adversities later on in life. Because of the power of early learning, United Way is making big investments in improving Early Grade Level Success. Born Learning Trails are a great and FREE early learning resource for families!
