Mobile Learning Adventure
Video: About the Mobile Learning Adventure
The Mobile Learning Adventure (MLA) is a traveling exhibit that provides an opportunity for parents to learn about the importance of early childhood education while having fun with their children. The MLA is part of PNC Grow Up Great® – a $500 million, multi-year, bilingual initiative that began in 2004 to help prepare young children for success in school and life.
The educational exhibit allows parents and children to engage in unique, interactive activities — whether visiting a learning kiosk, imagining the future, or exploring the difference between a need versus a want. It's a great way to discover how everyday moments are learning opportunities.
The educational materials within the MLA are appropriate for children from age 2 to age 5.

In collaboration with Fred Rogers Productions and local public television stations, Be My Neighbor Days invite children and families to participate in fun family events to care for neighbors in need, meet friends from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and learn more about early childhood resources in their communities. It’s a great way to help children understand how to support others and how one kind act can lead to many more.
