The "Healthy Start, Grow Smart," health education series is intended to improve early childhood education for America’s youngest children by providing easily understood information to parents and caregivers about best practices in early childhood development.

"Healthy Smart, Grow Smart" offers 13 issues, one for the newborn and one for each of the first 12 months of the new infant's life. Published in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Chinese, these booklets have been developed by health experts to provide valuable age-appropriate information about health, safety, nutritional needs and early cognitive development.

This is a tool you can provide to assist parents in raising healthy children, and it is absolutely free. You may order by clicking on the ORDER NOW button below and completing the form. If you would prefer to download the series, please click the DOWN LOAD SERIES button below.
