Our Mission:
Good Beginnings of Central Vermont is a nonprofit offering in-home support, accessible education, and meaningful connections for parents and caregivers prenatally through the postpartum period.
Our Vision:
Focus on the Parent - We view personalized care and social support as critical for parents and other caregivers of babies. Peer and social support positively contributes to a caregiver's mental health, resilience, and ability to support their child(ren)'s growth and development.
Community - Our model builds direct and lasting connections among community members, and therefore contributes to community resilience and vitality.
Inclusivity - We embrace and celebrate all families, regardless of the parent or caregiver's gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, income, or marital status.
Respectful and Nonjudgemental Support - We honor each families decision about whether and how to accept help. We honor parents' right to choose from a wide variety of parenting styles, and we deliver our services in a way that is respectful of each family's choices.
