Stephanie’s four-year-old son Caleb seemed to be a late bloomer. He lacked self-confidence. He couldn’t focus. He didn’t like to be told what to do. Stephanie was afraid he’d be totally lost in kindergarten. Fortunately, she discovered the Born Learning program, a part of United Way’s Start Smart early learning program. Through Born Learning, parents learn how to increase kindergarten readiness by turning everyday moments into learning moments. And children get a better start in life. Today, Caleb is blossoming. He’s reading. He’s writing. And he’s got the confidence he needs to succeed.
