A VitalGuide is a trained and experienced parent guide with a background in child development. A VitalGuide is a peer, a companion, a coach, and an expert rolled into one compassionate human being at your service! They check in with your family often and are available to answer your questions and identify the right resources at the right time, anytime, through in-app messaging.

A VitalGuide is an experienced parent who has been in your shoes.  They are uniquely experienced and trained to help you find answers to your parenting questions.  Instead of spending hours searching the internet for general information, your VitalGuide knows you and can tailor a set of recommendations specifically for your situation.

Our expert sessions are 1:1 video calls with an early childhood development expert to help you take the next steps to solve a particular problem or issue identified with your child.  Whether it be getting your child to sleep regularly, or dealing with picky eating…or maybe your child is biting others at preschool, or even issues around playing well with others or separation anxiety, our VitalExperts are here to empower you to take the next step to resolve these issues.  After speaking with you, they will outline a personalized plan of action for you.

Our experts are early childhood development experts who are licensed or certified in Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Behavior Therapy, Pediatric Sleep Issues, Nutrition, Lactation, and much more.  They can help you with guidance on various parenting or child health topics, including speech and communication skills, motor skills (e.g., running, jumping, handwriting), social-emotional development, behaviors, potty training, picky eating, executive skills, tantrums, and sleep.

Our assessments are simple and intuitive self-assessments that span multiple domains (including social, emotional, behavioral, cognitive, motor, nutrition, and sleep), ensuring that you are on top of your child’s progress and areas where they need help. We also track your well-being to identify and refer you to support for post-partum depression or anxiety disorders. The assessments also help our algorithms and VitalGuides accurately personalize your plan and guidance. All this is saved in a family profile and available for review and sharing with your child’s providers ((childcare teacher, pediatrician, or other care provider).

Parent and Play activities are simple activities you can do with your child in 15 minutes that are designed to promote parent-child bonding and stimulate whole-child development across social, emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and physical skills.

Explore and Learn articles are short reads that inform parents on child development topics and provide practical strategies to make parenting smooth and stress-free.
