What is the Born Learning campaign?
Have a child sort the laundry to learn colors. Help nurture a child's language skills by singing songs or reading signs. Help initiate a child's math skills by counting fingers and toes or foods and toys!

Born Learning is a public engagement campaign that helps parents and child care providers explore how to turn everyday moments into fun learning opportunities for children from birth to age five.

What happens in a child's early years matters - for success in life and a strong start in school. Yet for parents, caregivers and child care providers, it's hard to know exactly how best to guide a child's development, or help the child get the best start in school. And it's hard to find time in an all-too-busy day. Born Learning aims to help parents turn everyday moments into learning opportunities.

Born Learning - Clark County aims to help! The campaign will offer tools to help communities provide children with the high-quality early learning experiences they need.


Campaign Highlights
In June 2006 SELF launched the Born Learning Clark County public awareness and engagement campaign. The campaign involves an annual Family Fair, Born Learning resource corners across the county (see list here) and information that enables parents to succeed as their child's first teacher.

The 2007 Born Learning Family Fair will be held on Saturday, May 12, from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm in downtown Vancouver's Esther Short Park. The Fair will be a fun, informational event to celebrate families and our youngest children with lots of resource booths, interactive family and children's games, entertainment and much more. See the flier for more details. Send an email to express your interest in hosting a resource booth or exhibit. Born Learning informational materials are available locally from several SELF partners. The national or state Born Learning sites (above).

Email the campaign if you would like a Born Learning speaker for your service club, parent group or staff meeting.
