Greenwich play is a huge supporter of Welcome Baby USA, a woman-run non-profit organization that works to support low-income mothers with the resources their newborn will need for the first four weeks of their lives through a carefully curated package filled with vital essentials such as diapers, a grooming kit and thermometer, and pajamas.
“As an educator, I believe books are fundamental to new life, and I am honored to finally be able to make this donation. I chose The Going to Bed Book because it is truly universally loved, across all shapes, colors and sizes. The Going to Bed Book helped me and my newborn tremendously. When my first son was born, I didn’t have that immediate “oh my god” moment, where I just fell madly in love. He was amazing, that much was true, but he was a stranger! When we got home, the first few days were a blur. I remember our third night home, after bath time, my mom handed me a small board book. My husband recorded me reading to him – his first book – and on the very last page, I burst out hysterically crying and just stared at him. It was then that Cooper and I fell in love. The connection I had hoped to feel was made possible by sharing a simple book, and that is what I hope other mothers can achieve with this donation.” said Courtney Gault, CEO and Founder of Greenwich Play.
