Each week, you will receive short text messages with fun facts and easy tips on how to promote your child’s development by building on existing family routines – like pointing out letters on the shampoo bottle during bath time and naming their sounds. To sign up, text "NYC” to 70138. While there is absolutely no cost for enrolling, regular data & message rates may apply for receiving about three messages per week. You can cancel text messages at any time by texting STOP to 70138.
