Born Learning Trails

The Born Learning Trail is a fun, easy way for parents, grandparents and caregivers to capture children’s natural curiosity and love of play to help build early-learning skills which are critical for school readiness. A series of signs offering educational games (approved by experts) will guide adults on specific ways to create learning games outdoors and suggest tips to use a home.

The Born Learning Trail is an interactive, playful and visible tool for all community members. The trail is a community change strategy, helping boost children’s language and literacy skills – and encouraging families to get active.  It’s a great way to elevate awareness of early childhood education and support year-round healthy habits for local children.  

Our area trails were installed by local volunteers and are a true testament to the power of teamwork. Each trail also features hand-painted artwork to accompany the signs along the sidewalk, for even more interactive play opportunities.

We hope you’ll explore your local Born Learning Trail today!
