Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is there a fee or cost involved in having
a visit?
NO. There is no fee, cost, or financial obligation
of any kind connected to the programs. All booklets, materials and gifts
provided during the visit become each family’s to keep, without
further commitment. The only few things we ask in return is completion
of a data form that collects information for our funding sources, which
is kept strictly confidential, and about an hour of your time.
2. Is this program only for low-income families?
No. Bright Beginnings materials are available to any
family with a child prenatal up to age 3. There are no other eligibility
requirements.
3. Do I have to have someone come into my home?
No. You can have the materials reviewed with you at a place where both
you and the Bright Beginnings visitor feel comfortable. This could be
at your home, at a restaurant, or other community setting.
4. Can the visit be done prenatally?
Absolutely. We can visit you whenever it’s most convenient for
you.
5. What languages are your materials in?
Currently Bright Beginnings materials are only available in English
and Spanish.
6. Where do you get the names of parents who
are visited by Bright Beginnings?
Parents are reached through hospitals, clinics, congregations, media
efforts and word of mouth. Parents mail in a brochure requesting a home
visit. We do not receive master lists of babies born from the state
or any other agency nor do we share the names of people who received
a visit from Bright Beginnings.

Beginnings (CBB) and Metro Denver Bright Beginnings (MDBB)?
