Best Start for Babies

Best Start for Babies is a parent education program being implemented by the Early Childhood Councils of Larimer and Weld counties. The goal of this program is to promote positive child outcomes by providing parenting supports to families during the prenatal and critically important first year of a child's life. The classes teach parents about their baby’s development, activities for bonding, and how to find helpful resources.

The sessions are free and are held for 3 hours each week for 10 weeks. Free child care and a free meal will be provided at each class for the whole family. Also, parents are entered in weekly drawings for baby prizes, such as diapers or car seats, and can receive $100 at the completion of the course, as long as they attended all the classes. Moms, Dads, older brothers and sisters and other support people are welcome to attend. Moms and Dads must register separately for the classes. The classes are in English and Spanish.

Classes will begin in Larimer County May 17th 2012 and will be every Thursday from 5-8pm (except for July 5th) until July 26th. Call now to get on the registration list for classes!
