Welcome to this free community resource!
The New Parent Guide was developed by partners of the Los Alamos Early Childhood Collaboration, formerly known as BabyNet, as a voluntary service to our community.
The New Parent Guide is meant to serve families—growing and new to the area—who are starting their family, are pregnant, and parenting kids 0-5 years old. Use this Guide to connect with as many local resources as might be needed in your family’s early parenting journey.
Los Alamos Early Childhood Collaboration is a group of like minded organizations and community members living, working, and playing in Los Alamos County, New Mexico, USA. LAECC is funded by a grant from the New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department. Contact LAECC by emailing collab@lafsn.org or calling 505-218-6830.
We welcome your feedback and listing requests anytime (via Google forms).
