What is Born Learning?
Born Learning is an innovative public engagement campaign that helps parents, caregivers, and communities create quality early learning opportunities for young children. A Born Learning Trail contains 10 interactive signs with activities for adults to engage in with young children to turn an outdoor trip into a fun learning experience.
