Imagine if every child had five years of quality education before kindergarten. That’s what Born Learning is all about!
We know what happens in a child’s early years matters – for school readiness and success in life. Yet many parents and caregivers don’t know how to prepare young children for school, or feel like they don’t have time to do what’s needed. It’s easier than you might think. Everyday moments are teaching moments!
Born Learning provides practical tips and tools to help parents and care-givers provide quality early learning opportunities for young children.
Born Learning is built on three cornerstones: awareness, education, and action. It is necessary for parents and caregivers to realize the opportunities available each day to teach their children valuable lessons, without having to change their routine. Born Learning takes early learning research and translates it into activities and educational tools for parents and caregivers.
The educational materials for Born Learning are user-friendly and designed to help parents and caregivers understand how to prepare their children for school.
The Born Learning Trail provides a fun way for parents/caregivers to interact with children from newborn to age five. The trail, a 10‐station circuit course with learning activities at each station, is marked in English and Spanish. The benefits for children and for Kern County are many:
