At Mary Crane Center, our Home-based Program is hard at work supporting families of young children, birth to 3, through weekly home visits and twice monthly socializations.

Our program also serves expectant parents – moms and dads “-to-be”, in neighborhoods all across Chicago, to help them prepare for this new baby and support a successful, healthy birth.

Part of this preparation includes having the necessary items needed for a new baby. So the focus of a recent socialization was our prenatal families.

Expectant parents received car seats, breast pumps/bottle storage sets as well as standard bottle sets. Other items included basic bath essentials gift sets and pregnancy pillows.
