Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for this program?

Marine and sister service families expecting a child, or with a child under six years of age, are eligible to participate free of charge in all of the services offered.
What can the NPSP do for me?
This program offers expectant parents and parents of newborn and young children the opportunity to learn new skills as parents and to improve old ones. There are often many questions about the needs of infants and young children. The NPSP is a reliable source for answers to your questions in the classroom or in the privacy of your home.
What if we are not new parents?
Even if you have been raising your family for a few years, new ages and stages bring different challenges. Often, addling a brother or sister to the family presents a real change in the family.
