San Bernardino, CA – First5 San Bernardino granted Arrowhead United Way (AUW) $100,000 to continue the Born Learning program.  The premise of Born Learning is that children absorb information in the early stages of development.  The program increases awareness in parents/caregivers and helps them engage their young children in learning.  The program also provides information to parents about the health needs of young children.

AUW will be providing Born Learning workshops to the community within the next year by partnering with local non-profit organizations such as Big Bear Community Health Systems, San Bernardino Adult School, and San Bernardino Housing Authority.  AUW also offers community wide Born Learning workshops.

The next Born Learning workshop will be:
