What’s in a name? Just about everything, especially when it comes to public engagement campaigns. The goal of the Born Learning campaign is to help parents and family/friend or caregivers create quality early learning opportunities for their young children.
For the first time, United Way is combining their strength and knowledge with the power of media to bring a national focus to early childhood, an issue we have identified as one of our system’s top priorities. No matter what name your early childhood work operates under, you can and should take advantage of this exceptional opportunity to raise your community’s awareness of the early childhood work your United Way is doing, and to mobilize your community to make real changes in the number of children who come to school ready to succeed.
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.
How can parents, grandparents and caregivers support learning? Since children learn in a variety of ways and styles, to achieve developmental milestones the relationship with parents and primary caregivers is essential. It’s a connection that allows for optimum learning.
