Parenting, Child Care & Safety

The Resources You Need for the Kids in Your Life

At Sanford Children’s, we are dedicated to the well-being of all children – and that goes beyond health care. For children to be healthy, they must have access to safe homes and car rides, developmentally appropriate toys and education, and families that feel equipped to care for them as they grow.

Throughout our communities, Sanford Children’s has the resources parents, day care providers and other caregivers need to feel empowered to look after the children in their life.
