A presenter described "Baby and You" as a nine-week family education program for parents and caregivers of children ages 0 to 3, saying expecting families also can participate. The presenter said the program is sponsored by Promise Utah in cooperation with Davis School District and focuses on early learning, child and brain development, and early literacy.
The presenter outlined the weekly structure: families begin with "together time" that includes breakfast and stories; children then move to supervised childcare for music, movement, art and circle time while adults attend classes. "We really truly believe that parents and caregivers are their child's first and most important teacher," the presenter said, adding the program aims to equip parents with tools to support learning and development.
Each week features a community guest expert who addresses a particular topic, the presenter said. She noted an incentive for participation: "Families who complete the program now have the opportunity to earn a $500 My529 college savings account for their child." The presenter emphasized community connection as part of the program's goals: "We wanna help families to feel connected to their community and supported so that all children can thrive."
Two participants offered brief testimonials during the remarks. One said, "This is the most amazing program I have come to across," and later added, "And I have, more confidence in me, because of this program, and I'm so grateful for this program." A second participant said the program created social connections: "I have met friends through here ... I don't feel alone," calling it a "sisterhood of motherhood."
The presenter framed the program as open to any family with children in the specified age range and emphasized its aims of parent empowerment and community support. No formal actions, votes or statutory references were given in the transcript; additional details about enrollment, scheduling and eligibility beyond what was stated were not specified.
