New Parents

Congratulations on the birth of your baby! We want to wish you and your family the very best as you welcome this precious new life.

Many parents in our organization vividly remember the moment they first learned their child had Down syndrome. It’s natural to feel a mix of emotions—love, concern, hope, and uncertainty. We encourage you to focus first on what’s most important: to love, value, and welcome your baby with open arms. Just like all babies, your child’s needs are simple—love, care, and support.

As you settle into this new chapter, we encourage you to learn about Down syndrome at your own pace. 

At the Colorado Springs Down Syndrome Association (CSDSA), we’re here to support you. We would love to deliver a New Parent Basket filled with helpful materials and resources to guide you through this time. To request a basket, please email us at info@csdsa.org or call 719-633-1133 (please leave a message).

We also offer Parent Mentors—families who have been where you are now and are ready to share their experiences, offer encouragement, and answer questions. While we may not have all the answers, we believe that connecting with other parents and accessing reliable information can make a big difference.

Additionally, we invite you to join our New Parent Group for families with babies 0–4 years old. This welcoming group offers a space to ask questions, learn together, and build friendships.

For details on upcoming events, visit our Facebook page, email us at info@csdsa.org, or call 719-633-1133. Our New Parent Group coordinator will be happy to reach out and connect with you.

The outlook for children with Down syndrome has improved dramatically in recent years, thanks to loving families, early interventions, quality medical care, and educational support. Every day, we’re amazed by what our children accomplish—and we know you will be too.

The most important thing you can do today is to love and enjoy your baby.

We look forward to meeting you and your family!
