Baby Bear Hugs serves expectant Mothers, Families, and parents of prenatal to five years old in nine Counties in Eastern Colorado. 

Curious about your child’s development or wondering what milestones to look for next? A Baby Bear Hugs’ Parenting Educator will share helpful information and guidance.

From the first roll-over and bright smiles to first words and wobbly steps, your child grows quickly, and we’re here to support you through every stage. Our home visitors partner with families to explain developmental milestones, share simple activities that encourage learning, and help you feel confident as your child grows.

Across our nine-county region, Baby Bear Hugs provides free, in-home parenting support designed for the earliest years of life. Families receive guidance on child development, nurturing parenting techniques, early learning activities, stress-management tools, and personalized connections to community resources that fit their needs.

If you’d like support for your parenting journey or want to learn more about what we offer, we’d be happy to visit with you.
