Families leave your care medically ready.  

Your teams work hard to ensure every family is safe and stable at discharge — often a brief and overwhelming moment. There is limited time to cover what families will need in the days and weeks ahead — especially when it comes to early development.

Nana Approved extends your discharge education — providing families with trusted, science-aligned developmental guidance they can access from home, with no clinical burden and no HIPAA exposure. 

Why this matters

901 hospitals were reviewed by U.S. News & World Report for maternity care in 2026. Developmental guidance is not typically included in standard discharge education.

The first 1,000 days represent a critical window for early learning and development — beginning before birth and continuing to develop rapidly 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."
