What are people saying about Good Beginnings?

 

"This program has gained a reputation in the Upper Valley and beyond as a wonderful opportunity to help families with new babies, and for new parents to get assistance where needed."

The Upper Valley Parents' Paper

 

"The mission of Good Beginnings, which has offices in Lebanon, NH, Claremont, NH and Northfield, VT, is to create a caring community for anyone who is pregnant or has a newborn."

The Vermont Standard

 

"The first week at home after the birth of a child is typically chaos. Household routines are upended, sleep is sparingly at best and the amount of laundry has tripled. New parents might have help from parents and in-laws for a week or two, but then they are on their own. Except for here in the Upper Valley, where a nonprofit organization called Good Beginnings has been providing support to new families with babies since 1986."

Eastman Living

 

"...starting newborns on a path to wellness is a key factor in helping develop healthy children and families. Good Beginnings demonstrates that having volunteers show an interest in young mothers and their babies is a great help to families."

The Union Leader

 

What are people saying about Tales from the Crib?

 

"...The book is a great teaching tool. The stories are very specific but the concepts or ideals just jump out and are easily transferable to other situations."

The Valley News

 

"Ever wondered how a nonprofit organization starts - and grows? Good Beginnings, a free volunteer home visitor program that gives help to New Hampshire and Vermont families with newborn babies, has released a book that provides an inside look at the Upper Valley organization."
