Every Child Deserves a Loving Family
Children under age one are at risk for mistreatment and neglect, and also have the highest rate of entry into the foster care system. Welcome Home Baby, a voluntary home visiting program, helps protect these precious infants with early intervention and prevention services that help families learn to care for their little ones.
The program helps strengthen attachment between children and parents, enhances parent bonding, and reduces isolation by connecting families to community resources. Our qualified team is dedicated to helping children live happy, healthy lives with their natural parents. Each family receives a personalized service plan, including a research-based curriculum with hands on multi-sensory activities that boost children’s intellectual, physical and emotional development.
