MISSION
Room to Grow's mission is to close the opportunity gap for babies born into low-income circumstances throughout their critical first three years of development. They do this through parent coaching, essential material items and community referrals. The outcomes Room to Grow families achieve are powerful - 9 out of 10 children are meeting their developmental milestones on time.
ABOUT

Their dynamic, wrap-around approach addresses the multitude of needs facing parents raising children in these earliest years, and provides the surest opportunity for establishing a strong foundation in life.
