Born Learning Trails

If you have ever interacted with a child, you know they are constantly learning, right from birth. What children learn during those years depends on the experiences they have each and every day.

That’s where United Way Born Learning Trails come in. Born Learning Trails provide free opportunities for parents, grandparents and caregivers to boost young children’s literacy and language skills. The trails feature interactive stations with tips and tools to engage children in play-based learning activities.

By playing and exploring together, caregivers can help their children get ready for success in school and in life. Explore a Born Learning Trail with your little one today!
