United Way Born Learning Academy

"UNITED WAY BORN LEARNING ACADEMY" IS A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR YOUR CHILD’S SUCCESS

It’s the simple things that make a difference in building a young child’s foundation for success in school and life.

It’s not flash cards or expensive educational toys, it’s making your grocery trip into a treasure hunt for colors and shapes.

Turn bath time into a silly song about body parts. Even dinner can become a learning opportunity, as your toddler builds math skills by counting eggs. Sound simple? Well, that’s the idea—to turn everyday activities into opportunities for parents to encourage learning. Learn more at an be www.bornlearning.org.

The United Way Born Learning Academy offers you tips, tools and resources to do just that. It’s a series of six free workshops that provide your family with tools and resources to turn everyday activities into early learning moments. The workshops are in local schools, with food and childcare provided.

Our Born Learning Academies in Sutter County are made possible through a grant from the Sutter County Children & Families Commission and support from the Yuba City Unified School District.
