NYS Parenting Guide
Prenatal: Growth and Development
This is your Guide, the story of the first five years of your parenting journey. Whether you are the mother or father (through birth, adoption, or foster care), a grandparent, partner, family friend, aunt or uncle with parenting responsibilities, what you say and do in your role as a parent matters.
Visit the parenting guide here.
Ideally, all families are welcome to apply for the program, but special attention is given to those eligible for benefits such as SNAP, WIC, TANF, etc. There are no requirements around citizenship, age, marital or relationship status, or number of children.
To learn more about parenting and helping your baby develop, consider applying to Room to Grow at www.roomtogrow.org/apply-now.
