Born Learning

Children are constantly learning, right from birth. Their early years are the foundation for growth and development, and what they learn during those years depends on the experiences they have each and every day. This is our greatest challenge as caregivers, as well as our greatest opportunity.

About Born Learning
Born Learning is a campaign created by the United Way of America system, Civitas, the Families and Work Institute, and the Ad Council to help parents, caregivers and communities create quality early learning opportunities for young children. Recognizing that everyday life is a learning experience for children, the Born Learning public engagement campaign helps parents, grandparents, and caregivers explore ways to turn everyday moments into fun Learning opportunities.

United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley is proud to bring Born Learning to our community. It is designed to bring about both individual and community change.
