Born Learning
Children are born ready to learn. Every interaction and experience a child has beginning at birth will prepare a child for success in school and in life.
Rappahannock United Way is glad to introduce Born Learning™, an innovative and fun public engagement campaign designed to help parents, caregivers, and the community use everyday moments to provide quality early learning opportunities for children. Everyday routines like cooking dinner, doing the laundry, grocery shopping, and reading books provide numerous opportunities to develop skills and knowledge that will help a child succeed when entering kindergarten.
Through television and radio public service announcements, print materials, web tools at www.bornlearning.org, and educational materials, you will learn easy and fun ways to help prepare your child for school.
