Born Learning Academy educates parents Seminar teaches easy activities to prepare children for kindergarten The remaining sessions for the Born Learning Academy are scheduled for October 20, 2016; November 17, 2016; December 15, 2016; January 9, 2017; and February 16, 2017. Each start at 5:30pmCT at Adair County Primary Center, 158 Col. Casey Drive, Columbia, KY, and are free to attend. By Wes Feese Media Relations, Adair County Schools Twelve local families participated in the Born Learning Academy at Adair County Primary Center last Thursday night, September 15, 2016, acquiring valuable, research-based parenting skills at no cost. The program, sponsored by Toyota and United Way of Kentucky, is presented by the Adair County Family Resource Center, and is made available to any families with children not yet in kindergarten. "We focus on everyday learning activities to prepare the child for school," says Family Resource Center coordinator Paula Garrison. "We have a meal, then the parents hear a lecture while we have activities for the kids, and then at the end we bring them back together to practice what they've learned." ACPC curriculum resource teacher Sarah Burton says the goal is for parents to learn simple, play-oriented activities that foster a love of learning in young children. "The things they learn, they're easy to implement," Burton says. "It's fun for the kids but also very important for their development." Thursday's program was the first of six Born Learning Academy offerings this year. The remaining sessions are scheduled for October 20, 2016; November 17, 2016; December 15, 2016; January 9, 2017; and February 16, 2017. Each start at 5:30pmCT at Adair County Primary Center, 158 Col. Casey Drive, Columbia, KY, and are free to attend. Each session has a different focus, ranging from language skills to health and nutrition to brain development. "We're trying to provide a positive experience for families about their child coming to school," Garrison says. "This program helps children be socially, emotionally, and academically ready for kindergarten. We want to increase the number of children entering kindergarten with knowledge, skills, and dispositions for school success in the future." This story was posted on 2016-09-19 19:26:14
