What is "Born Learning"?
United Way of Greater Topeka has partnered with local hospitals, health providers, libraries and others to distribute books for new parents to read to their babies and to create a “Born Learning Club”. Born Learning is designed to provide parents and other caregivers with tips and advice on how to create quality learning opportunities to help young children prepare for school, and a wealth of early childhood education materials can be found at http://www.bornlearning.org/.  There are tips for learning on the go, answers to help care for young children; fact sheets on a child’s ages and stages, and much more.  It’s all available in Spanish as well.

Join the Born Learning Club
If you are a parent of a newborn (0-3 months) in Shawnee County, you are invited to sign up to learn about community supported activities for young families. You will receive several free books from participating agencies to read with your baby, and a quarterly newsletter from ERC Resource and Referral. Download the Born Learning Club enrollment form from the United Way website. Print and mail it to: United Way, 1315 SW Arrowhead Dr, Topeka, KS 66604.
