For more than a century, the Visiting Nurse Service of New York has provided compassionate and expert care to mothers and children throughout New York City. In fact, our New York child and family services began in 1893 when Lillian Wald, our founder, provided care to a sick immigrant mother in the woman's tenement apartment.
Today, VNSNY has developed a wide array of comprehensive New York child and family services.
Our New York child care services and New York child support services include:
Maternity, Newborn & Pediatrics
This service provides care to pregnant women who have prenatal or medically-related complications, new mothers, and babies and children up to 18 years of age.
Community Care for Children
This prevention program for children with special needs is truly family-focused, for the goal is to keep the family together and prevent the children from being placed in foster care.
Early Intervention
Children with language, motor or social delays, children with disabilities, premature babies, children who for some reason aren't developing normally all receive help in this program.
Early Head Start
This innovative program in the Rockaway community of Queens works with teen families and their children up to three years of age, though pregnant women up to age 25 are also accepted.
Nurse-Family Partnership
NFP is a national program that offers support from a specially trained nurse for low-income, first-time mothers from pregnancy through the child’s second birthday.
Bronx Fatherhood Program
The goal of this program is to provide services that will improve the lives of young men who are facing the awesome responsibility of parenthood.
