Me & My Baby
Support for new parents and their little ones
The Challenge
By the time kids reach kindergarten, the gap has already started.
Without support in the earliest months, children fall behind socially, emotionally, and academically, making it harder to catch up later on.
90% of a child’s brain develops before age 5 — the foundation for lifelong learning is built in those early years.
How Me & My Baby Makes A Difference
Me & My Baby teaches parents the importance of early stimulation, bonding, and development to prepare their children for success in school and life.
By combining education with encouragement, the program helps families create healthy, safe environments where babies can thrive.
100% of Siempre Padres participants say the program improved their life at home.
What it looks like
Parents meet regularly in a supportive group led by staff and guest experts. Each session offers practical tools for parenting, guidance on early childhood development, and community with other parents.
Families leave with confidence, stronger relationships, and children who are better prepared to enter kindergarten ready to learn.
“This is my first pregnancy and I’m having twins. It’s been comforting to gain knowledge and a support network. Also, when my children are born, I know I can turn to Urban Ventures for support.”
