Lucas County Family Council's Early Childhood Department administers programs in Lucas County for pregnant women and children aged birth to 3. There are several programs offered that support parents in the care and nurturing of their children:
- Help Me Grow consists of the Home Visiting and Early Intervention programs. Home Visiting is a voluntary, home-based program offered at no cost to your family. Our home visitors are well-trained professionals who use a compassionate approach that offers information and support during pregnancy, and empowers you as the parent with skills, tools, and confidence to nurture the healthy growth of your child through the earliest years – a critical time of development. Early Intervention provides services to infants and toddlers with disabilities or developmental delays and their families. Your family will work with a local team of experts to enhance your child's learning and development while providing support and connection to resources.
