Building supportive families
A child’s first three years of life
The birth of a first child brings unimagined joy. At the same time, the challenges involved can take any adult by surprise. Open to first-time families in Santa Fe County, our First Born® Home Visiting program can begin anytime during pregnancy or within your baby’s first two months of life. Covering the most critical developmental period in your child’s life, First Born® can continue until age three, delivering an integrated curriculum of support and resources that results in confident, healthy and stable family life. At any given time, 100 families in Santa Fe County are taking advantage of our First Born® program! During weekly First Born® visits—coordinated to suit your family’s schedule—trained home visitors help you master the best ways to feed, care for and bond with your new baby. Once healthy growth and development are established, First Born® expands to build a foundation for your child’s early learning. By giving your family the tools you need to thrive, First Born® nurtures more effective parents and healthier, happier kids.
