Hello Gentlemen,
We spoke about this at the Kiwanis pancake breakfast and you’d asked for more information. I wanted to follow up to see if you had any questions on this early childhood initiative. We’d love to work with you to provide the first Born Learning Trail in Winter Haven for your families. We are currently working with Lake Wales for a new trail and hope to see one in Winter Haven to bring awareness and fun to the importance of early learning and family engagement! Please let me know if you’d like to schedule a virtual meeting to discuss.
I have some time next Friday, May 9 from 9-10 or 11-12 to meet via Teams if you’re available.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Ceranic

Hi Gonzalo and Robert,
Thank you for following up! As I mentioned, one of United Way of Central Florida Success By 6 initiatives is something called Born Learning. Through national public service advertising, parent materials and community mobilization activities, Born Learning provides action steps that are fun, easy and can be taken in everyday moments to prepare young children for school.
One of the ways we use Born Learning in the community is with interactive Born Learning Trails. We currently have them located at Hernando’s Landing, Common Ground Park, Fontaine Gills YMCA and Lake Parker in Lakeland, Kiwanis Park in Lake Wales and Sun N Lake in Sebring. Here is a link showing the trail in action, https://youtu.be/CXjLRHmS-tc, an article from our Sebring trail and more about the trails in general, Overview | United Way – Born Learning. I’ve also attached a file showing each trail sign and a trail info sheet you can share with your members.
Each trail can be customized to the community’s wants and needs. We can provide the signs to you at no cost, or a partner could purchase them and have their logo included on the sign. United Way can organize volunteers to install the signs during a “Day of Caring”, the City or parks department or civic group may wish to install them themselves or find their own volunteers.
