Teen Tot Program
The Teen Tot Program is a comprehensive primary care program for teen mothers and their young children offered through the Division of General Pediatrics at the University of Maryland Pediatric Ambulatory Center,105 Penn Street. This program has provided comprehensive longitudinal primary care to over 240 teen mothers and their children since its inception in 1993. All mothers aged 17 and younger at the birth of their child are eligible to join. Care is provided to both the mother and the child by the same providers during the same clinical sessions. A nurse practitioner, physician, and social worker comprise the Teen Tot team. Home visits, parenting classes, case management, and help with transportation are provided. Care is provided to the mother through age 21 and to the child through age 4. Once the child turns four, care is transferred to the Pediatric Ambulatory Center.
