The Bornlearning Academy enjoyed a very successful first run at Casey Park Elementary School. The last of six workshops concluded on October 30th. It was the very first Bornlearning Academy in New York State. The Bornlearning Academy is a series of free family workshops that provide parents with tools and resources to turn everyday activities into early learning moments. The academy teaches parents of preschoolers how to turn everyday activities at home such as laundry, meals, and bedtime into learning experiences for your child. It also stresses the importance of healthy nutrition, exercise, daily reading and other activities as vital to the development of young minds and bodies. Mr. Gorney would like to thank the Bornlearning team for their time and devotion to this worthy program. He also appreciates the time and effort parents put into the fledgling program to make it a fantastic success!

This now also applies to post-secondary institutions (colleges), upon request.
