For the past five years, Every Child Counts has been partnering with various community and public agencies to distribute the Kit, free of charge, to organizations that provide services to families with newborns and children up to five years of age. If you would like to collaborate with Every Child Counts in the distribution of the kits, please complete and submit the Order Form for Kits for New Parents
. You have the option to receive free on-going, monthly deliveries of the Kits or you can receive a free one-time shipment. In either case, you will need to arrange for storage of the Kits.
Parents can order the Parent Kits directly from the state:
- For English Kits, call (800) 543-7025
- For Spanish Kits, call (800) 506-4667
Providers can click on Tips on Introducing the Kit for suggestions on how to talk to parents about the Kit. Remember, the Kits are most helpful for parents before the baby arrives.
