Every community’s future begins with
how we support our youngest children.

Help Me Grow is not a stand-alone program—it is a system approach that strengthens what already exists.
By bringing partners together around shared goals, communities can maximize resources,
avoid duplication, and ensure children get the right support at the right time.

When families, healthcare, and early learning systems work together, all children can thrive.

Strong early childhood systems—across health care, education, and family services—
are the foundation for thriving children and families. Help Me Grow strengthens these systems by
integrating services, reducing fragmentation, and ensuring families can access support without barriers.

Our success depends on a shared vision and consistent ways of measuring progress.
With leaders across sectors at the table, we establish common goals, align values,
and drive a unified agenda that promotes the healthy development of every child.

Help Me Grow is more than a model—it is a movement powered by collaboration, shared purpose, and the belief that all children deserve the chance to reach their full potential.

Our partners provide outreach to promote the use of Help Me Grow through networking opportunities among families and service providers, sharing of information, and support and resources to help increase awareness about early identification and intervention for children. Help Me Grow Sacramento’s community partners are able to provide an important connection point for families, supporting them with information on developmental milestones, screenings and direct referrals, and follow up on their connection to services. Help Me Grow Sacramento’s health care partners provide outreach and support to families, encouraging screenings to help with detection and early intervention. Help Me Grow Sacramento is proud to partner with community and healthcare partners in Sacramento County to support children and families and help them thrive.

Help Me Grow Sacramento provides the resources to connect families to our partners at no charge.
