The personal commitment of our Founder and volunteers to protect children and to the energy and hard work necessary to make everything happen.

The wisdom, stability, strength and planned expansion of our Board of Directors.

The utilization of Volunteer Match and university intern programs to find volunteers to help meet our goals; we now have 7 volunteers.

Continued growth of financial resources and revenue generation and sponsor commitments.

Child Proof Advice originated by offering classroom style training workshops to hospital birthing classes, health departments, child care facilities, adoption agencies, nanny programs, military bases etc.

Modest workshop attendance and limited interest indicated a more modern approach was necessary. An exciting website offering online parent and professional training and the publication of a downloadable e-book safety guide resulted.

This operational foundation is nearing completion allowing us to focus on marketing of the entire program to the original entities, but in a new format. Safety products and equipment have been ordered and stored, marketing materials are in place and communications are expanding with contacts increasing.

Additional plans are in place to begin direct customer contact to all targeted markets in January, 2019 including hospital parenting classes and to connect with offices of obstetrician and pediatric physicians. We also plan to make additional donations of our educational program and safety equipment to the Department of Social Services Care Ring Nurse Family Partnership organization which helps first time mothers with limited resources.
