What is Baby Potential and who are we?
We're creator Dacia Napier, M.D., a full-time radiologist and mother of two, and principal Allison Zeller, a philanthropist and mother of three. We're also friends who came together over the idea that every baby--regardless of gender, race or socio-economic status--has potential. We've witnessed, too many times in our community, at-risk children who don't always receive the same opportunities and encouragement that we were fortunate enough to receive while we were growing up. But every baby has potential. It's a message we hope to spread: Every baby has value. Every baby has the potential to be what ever he or she wants to be.
Baby Potential was born from our belief that with love, education and
community support, all babies have the potential to grow into
productive adults and achieve career success. We created a unique product line of onesies and T-shirts featuring career patches as a means of spreading that message, while at the same time giving
parents and gift-givers a unique option for baby apparel.
We also believe we have a responsibility to the at-risk women and children in our community and to demonstrate that commitment, Baby Potential - through a partnership
with Family Service Association (FSA) of San Antonio - has established a
Sew Circle to produce the custom patches in our specialty line. Sew
Circle associates, who are women receiving services from FSA, earn
extra income from home by hand-sewing patches and embroidering career
names onto garments.
Baby Potential will donate a portion of profits to support various community outreach and educational programs funded through FSA.
"Start here. Grow far." is our blog and the place where we'll chat about all things Baby Potential, dish about hot parenting topics, interview role models who've realized their potential, and share our everyday parenting moments (from the hilarious to the harrowing).
Colleen Pence is our blog editor/writer and we'll jump in and join her from time to time. We'd love for you to join us as we spread the word that every baby has potential.
What a great idea! Love the designs.
