For more than 25 years, Room to Grow has promoted equity and opportunity by providing families with personalized guidance, community connections, and essential material resources from the third trimester of pregnancy to their children’s third birthday. We meet families where they are, supporting their caretaking journeys during their children’s most critical years of growth. Our nonprofit’s eviden

ce-informed approach helps families expand their knowledge, skills, and confidence so their children can thrive from the start. Over the course of our three-year program, we partner with families and connect them with dedicated program team members to support their well-being and enhance their strengths and knowledge; community resources to bolster their growth; and essential, high-quality baby and toddler items. Between in-person visits, we celebrate childhood milestones, build on progress, and address questions or concerns. Room to Grow currently partners with families in New York, Boston, and Chicago.

100 days. $100,000. One new home for families. 🏠

Construction is officially underway on our new Roxbury Family Center, and now, we’re counting down to opening day!

Our goal: raise $100,000 in 100 days to help get the doors open and ready for the families who will fill this space with laughter, milestones, conversations, and connection.

Every gift brings us one step closer.

We’ll be sharing the progress along the way — and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Help us reach $100K by opening day. https://give.roomtogrow.org/campaign/813466/donate 🩵

Back-to-school season is here. But getting ready for school starts long before the classroom.

National data shows a stark reality: while 75.1% of children from high-income families enter kindergarten fully on track, only 53.9% of children living below the poverty line do.

That is a 21% readiness gap before a child ever steps foot into an elementary school classroom.

This isn't a reflection of a child’s potential. It shows the unequal access to resources during the most critical phases of early brain development.

At Room to Grow, we know that waiting until preschool or kindergarten is too late, which is why we partner with families between the ages of 0 and 3. 🌱

But we can't do it alone. You can help close the gap, too. ✏️ This back-to-school season, consider picking up an item from our Amazon Registry. A book, toy, piece of clothing, or other essential can give a young child one more resource to learn, play, and grow.

Put just one more item on our shelf for a family today: https://www.roomtogrow.org/donate-baby-items

What if giving back was part of the things you already love?

A workout with friends. A birthday celebration. Shopping from a favorite local brand. Everyday moments can become opportunities to support families.

Over the past few weeks, that's exactly what our community has done!

A huge thank you to PIMCO , our New York Leadership Council, , , and .enovese.designs for showing just how fun and creative giving back can be. 💙

We love seeing our community find creative ways to turn everyday moments into meaningful impact.

A new chapter is officially underway 🚧👏 Construction has begun on our new Roxbury Family Center!

Right now, it’s an empty space filled with dust, tools, and big possibilities. Soon, it will be filled with life changing moments, conversations, laughter, and little ones taking big steps.

This is a milestone worth celebrating, and we’re so grateful to everyone helping make it possible!

Help us celebrate in the comments, and if you’d like be part of bringing this space to life, consider making a gift at the link in our bio. 💙

Sometimes growth looks like a first step. Sometimes it looks like a parent feeling a little more confident than they did three months ago.

Often, it's both.

That's why our Family Centers are more than just a place to visit. They're a place where families can build relationships, find support, and celebrate each new step along the way.

And we're honored to walk alongside them through it all. 💙

Bedtime wasn’t always predictable for Aniluz. It was something she and her family figured out in real time, the way most new parents do.

Now the routine is something they both know by heart. Bath. Pajamas. Teeth. Books. "I think what helps her settle isn't just the routine itself," Aniluz says. "It's knowing I'm there with her."

Aniluz handles bedtime alone most nights while her husband works evenings. By the time Avery is asleep, it's been a full day of work, chores, cooking, cleaning. "It's often the first quiet moment I've had all day."

And sometimes, in the middle of the night, Aniluz wakes to find Avery quietly squeezing herself between her and her husband — so certain of where she belongs.

"That moment reminded me that this isn't just a sleep habit — it's where she's always felt safest. As challenging as this stage can be, I know she's growing, and I'm trying to help her become more independent while still making sure she feels secure and loved."

Every family is finding their rhythm. This July, help make sure they have what they need to get there.
