Families leave your hospital medically stable.

The DCM sends them home developmentally informed.

Science-aligned developmental guidance families can access from home, with no clinical burden and no HIPAA exposure. 

Why this matters

U.S. News & World Report's most recent maternity care review evaluated 901 hospitals.

Developmental guidance is rarely part of standard discharge education.

It should be.

The first 1,000 days represent a critical window for early learning and development — beginning before birth and accelerating through the early years of life.

The difference understanding makes 

"Sign language has such incredible value. Many times, it clarifies what a child cannot express verbally, for whatever reason.

One time, when I was teaching Kindergarten, a child's family member came and taught us sign language. At the end of the year, I was testing this child's letter sound knowledge — I made a "K" sound and asked her to point to the letter on the wall. She couldn't do it so I assumed she didn't know it. Then she suddenly signed it to me. Turns out she had dyslexia and needed glasses— she couldn't see the letters on the wall. When she signed that letter, we knew something was going on.

Nana's Notes are filled with wonderful activities. And I think it's great that the physical areas each activity addresses are clearly identified."
