Welcome Baby is a free community service designed to promote a healthy, secure and enjoyable beginning for parents, new babies and their family members. Here are some families and volunteers experiences in the Welcome Baby Program.
What We Do
Welcoming a newborn baby into your home is an overwhelming experience. Like other first-time parents, you are probably experiencing feelings of excitement and anticipation, as well as anxiety and uncertainty. The next few years of your child's life are very critical, and parents play a vital role in promoting healthy growth and development. Because children don’t come with a user’s manual, parents are left to follow their instincts, rely on previous knowledge, research the answers or ask family and friends for advice. It is definitely a learning experience, but not one that has to be done alone.
Welcome Baby offers several different levels of support to first-time parents: Home Visitations and Playgroup
