Changing The Way We Welcome Babies

Every new beginning
deserves understanding.

Birth isn't the finish line. It's the starting line.

Nana Approved, LLC  created The Developmental Continuity Model™  — a science-aligned developmental support model that begins at birth and travels home with families, provided as a gift from participating hospitals.

Medical teams do extraordinary work preparing families for the physical demands of a newborn. But development — how babies form attachment, how sensory experience shapes the brain, how connection becomes cognition — that guidance isn’t part of the discharge standard. 

DCM was designed to close that gap.

Families deserve to leave the hospital understanding not only how to care for their baby — but how their baby begins to learn, connect, and develop from day one.

Families need the right developmental understanding at the right time - in a form they can carry home and return to as their baby grows.  

Start where you are. Move forward with confidence. Understand what matters.

Our Three-Step Approach

The Developmental Continuity Model™ ensures families  leave with more than just instructions — they leave with understanding.
