Our Purpose
To increase awareness of parents and caregivers on the importance of early learning and how to encourage learning activities for children in care. Increase involvement and investment in early learning by area businesses and the community for a sustainable system of quality support for all families in need.
Current Initatives
- Develop a Born Learning campaign for Dubuque County in conjunction with a coordinated message for youth already in place.
- Disseminate Born Learning materials to parents and caregivers at community events, early learning workshops, and strategic community locations for targeted populations.
- Offer early learning workshops in community locations by trained "trusted messengers" to provider Born Learning directly to parents and caregivers.
- Plan and hold a business leader symposium to promote Born Learning and provide education about investing in early childhood and its link to economic development.
