About

Help Me Grow exists to help parents raise healthy children.

The first 1,000 days of a child’s life matter most. In fact, 80% of your child’s brain growth happens in the first three years of life. That’s why we’re here – to connect you to the healthy development specialists, services and resources to give babies and young children the best start possible.

What we do

Help Me Grow is your one stop for infant and early childhood healthy development resources. Our specialists plug you into the services you need when you need them. And our tools and assistance are available to all families at no cost, regardless of insurance coverage or type.

We offer:

  • Child development specialists to identify and connect you to the right resources close to home.
  • Developmental screenings to measure your child’s progress and explore everyday ways to support their learning.
  • SC’s most connected grid of child development and community resources, ranging from basic needs to parent support.
