About This Cause
Goal #1: Children will thrive during their critical first three years of life, meeting appropriate cognitive, social, and physical milestones in their development. To meet this goal, Room to Grow: • Promotes cognitive development and childhood safety by helping parents be more responsive and engaged caregivers • Nurtures emerging literacy through exposure to books in the home • Promotes attainment of developmental milestones through modeling stimulating activities and providing age appropriate toys • Promotes long-term physical health by encouraging preventive medical and dental care, sharing information about childhood nutrition and helping parents engage their children in physical activity and healthy routines of daily living Goal #2: Parents will attain the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to assure that children fulfill their emotional, intellectual and physical potential. To meet this goal, Room to Grow: • Improves parental knowledge of educational, health and general parenting strategies • Helps parents access needed support from family members, friends and community resources • Nurtures the development of parental skills and coping strategies for the stress of raising a baby in poverty • Builds confidence, affirms parenting strengths, detects early signs of risk and facilitates treatment when necessary Goal #3: Low-income families will have access to clothing, books, developmentally appropriate toys, and other items, thus relieving families’ financial strain and ensuring that they have high-quality items similar to those in middle-class homes. To meet this goal, Room to Grow: • Obtains donations of new and nearly-new baby items from individuals, companies, and community groups • Prepares the donations as necessary by cleaning, fixing, and organizing the donations • Provides needed baby items free of charge to families
