and the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners through the Children's Services Advisory Committee. 

Additional funding is provided through Generous Contributions from the Community - Beachside 1/2 Marathon, Dancing With Vero's Stars, "in kind" gifts and donations/grants for individual projects or programs. 

TLC services are available to ALL residents of Indian River County who have a baby less than 12 months of age.  Our staff consists of five Family Associates who are available to provide up to date, evidence based information regarding baby care as well as infant development and safety.  In addition we are all Certified Lactation Counselors who are qualified to assist families in their desire to breastfeed. 

We thank our funders for their ongoing support of TLC Newborn and if you love the services we provide, we encourage you to thank them too.
