Supporting New and Expecting Parents with Healthy Families Nassau

At Academic Explorers, we are dedicated to providing our families with valuable resources and information. Recently, we collaborated with Healthy Families Nassau to offer an insightful virtual workshop for expecting and new parents. Here’s a look at the essential topics covered during the session, aimed at helping parents navigate the exciting journey of parenthood.


Prenatal and Postnatal Information

Understanding what to expect during and after pregnancy is crucial for new parents. Healthy Families Nassau emphasizes the importance of managing health and wellbeing during this time. They provide guidance on the physical and emotional changes that occur, ensuring parents are well-prepared for each stage of pregnancy and postpartum life.


Baby’s Growth and Development

Monitoring and supporting a baby’s developmental milestones is vital in the early years. Healthy Families Nassau offers expert advice on how parents can aid their baby’s growth through various stages, from newborn to toddler. This includes tips on nutrition, sleep, and activities that promote physical and cognitive development.


Relationship and Parenting Support

Building strong family relationships and effective parenting strategies are central themes. Positive parenting techniques and creating a nurturing environment for children are key focuses. Healthy Families Nassau provides tools and resources to help parents foster a loving and supportive home atmosphere.


Bonding with Your Newborn

Developing a strong emotional connection with a newborn is foundational. Strategies for bonding include the importance of touch, communication, and responsive caregiving. Healthy Families Nassau highlights how these interactions can significantly impact a child’s emotional and social development.


Assistance with Benefits

Navigating the various benefits available to new parents can be challenging. Healthy Families Nassau offers assistance with applying for essential benefits such as SNAP, WIC, and child care assistance. This support ensures that families have access to the resources they need for their child’s wellbeing.




Our collaboration with Healthy Families Nassau underscores our commitment to the wellbeing of our families at Academic Explorers. We believe that informed and supported parents create a nurturing environment for their children’s growth and development.
