Support a Strong Future for Kids 0-5

We know that a strong first five can create a strong forever. Docs for Tots believes that we can ensure every one of New York’s tiniest tots can access the high-quality, whole-child developmental care they deserve. Do you?

Whether it’s $5 or $5000 – a donation to Docs for Tots is an investment in New York’s future. Every dollar counts.

In part, because of your generosity, Docs for Tots is able to adopt a unique, innovative approach and to adapt quickly – whether that’s to meet people’s real-time needs or in response to an emergency, like COVID. Docs for Tots’ whole-child approach includes building caregiver skills, strengthening childcare systems, and enacting solid policies. Our goal: that every child in New York has a strong 5-year start and the chance to thrive for a lifetime. Your support can help make that goal a reality.
