Connect to Baby
Ages: 0 months to 24-months
Connect to Baby (CTB) is a free program that uses communication and play to build strong connections between parents and children. During our sessions, CTB uses media and activities to strengthen relationship skills in order to create a strong parenting team. Each week, parents meet with a trained facilitator to learn about how to communicate about parenting and get to know their baby better.
Here’s How it Works:
- You will practice skills to support you baby and your parenting team
- You can enroll in baby’s first months of life up to 24 months
- Both parents participate
- Most sessions happen on Zoom
Gifts and Benefits:
Families will receive:
- Payment of up to $180
