Wee Help

Keeping Teens in School

We work with the teen parents programs in high schools in Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista.  In an effort to support and encourage these mothers and fathers to stay in school and receive their diplomas, we provide an ensemble of baby care items for each mother. Each layette consists of a laundry basket that contains a digital thermometer, a crib blanket, two receiving blankets, two bottles, a towel & washcloths, socks, diapers, wipes, two onesies, a sleeper, diaper rash cream, shampoo, a photo album, a stuffed animal, a toy and a book. Our members personalize the gift by crafting a handmade blanket and/or quilt, in the appropriate colors of pink, blue or yellow depending on whether or not the sex of the baby is known ahead of time.
