Kensico Born to Learn

Employees at Siemens install a Born Learning Trail at Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla on Monday. The trail, developed by the United Way, provides interactive games for kids.

Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla is about to get a little more educational.

A Born Learning Trail, developed by the United Way of Westchester and Putnam, was installed at the county-owned park on Monday by executives at Siemens, which has offices in Westchester.

The United Way of Westchester and Putnam developed the Born Learning campaign to help turn everyday moments into learning experiences for parents and children. The campaign provides simple daily action steps that support early learning and ensure school readiness.

United Ways across the country are now installing permanent Born Learning Trails in parks and nature centers as a way to engage volunteers and create new learning opportunities for young children.

“As a parent of small children, I appreciate the simplicity of Born Learning and how it enters into my everyday conversations with my kids,” Naomi Adler, the CEO of United Way of Westchester and Putnam said. “It gives parents concrete, fun activities that will enhance a child’s ability to learn, think and interact with others.”
