Transition to Born to Learn®: What’s Changing and What’s Next
Parents as Teachers is introducing Born to Learn® as the new unified name for the curriculum currently known as Foundational and Foundational 2. While the name may sound familiar—Born to Learn® was the title of an earlier Parents as Teachers curriculum published in 1999—this updated version reflects a modernized platform and improved user experience.
What’s Changing
The curriculum is moving beyond the previous digital book format to a new online platform designed to make it easier for parent educators to find and use resources. The updated platform will include:
- Advanced search and filtering to quickly locate materials
- Bookmarking features for frequently used resources
- Printable parent educator resources
- Improved access to translations and adapted materials
- A more flexible system designed to grow and evolve over time
These improvements are intended to make planning personal visits and accessing curriculum content more efficient.
What’s Staying the Same
While the platform is changing, the high-quality, research-based content that parent educators rely on will remain the same. The curriculum will continue to include:
- Activity pages focused on parent-child interaction
- Talking prompts and reflection questions
- Adaptations and translated materials to support diverse families
What’s Next
The Born to Learn® Curriculum platform is expected to launch in Spring/Summer 2026.
To support a smooth transition:
- Foundational and Foundational 2 curricula will remain available for a period of time after the new platform launches.
- No additional cost will be required to access the new system.
- The curriculum will continue to be accessed through the eBiz portal.
- No additional Foundational or Model Implementation training will be required.
Parents as Teachers will also provide webinars, videos, and additional guidance to help users become familiar with the new platform. Stay tuned for a soft launch of the platform towards the end of March.
