Baby Bonanza is sponsored by the Hamilton County Help Me Grow Collaborative.

Administered by the Hamilton County Family and Children First Council, Hamilton County Help Me Grow Collaborative is comprised of more than 50 early childhood development programs in the Cincinnati area. The group’s focus seeks to make certain children are developmentally on target before entering preschool and supports families with community resources to assure that children are living in safe and healthy environments. The group assists in the coordination and implementation of a comprehensive, family centered Help Me Grow system of services for families in Hamilton County with an infant or toddler at risk for or with developmental delays.
