What is KidsFirst?
KidsFirst is a FREE, home-visiting program designed to support children and families by enhancing parenting knowledge, providing support and building on family strengths.
What Can KidsFirst Do for You and Your Family?
Our program works with families and their children from pregnancy through to 3 years old. We focus on child development, parent-child relationships, and parenting skills.
KidsFirst Home Visitors are lay-persons who receive extensive training and are strongly supported by professionally trained supervisors. A Home Visitor is assigned to work with you and your family as your child grows. Home visits are weekly and last about an hour.
The Home Visitor will share information about:
- Early learning opportunities for your children
- Child growth and development
- Housing and food security
- Positive parent-child relationships
- Problem-solving and coping skills
- New ways to play with your child
- Specialized services of interest to you
KidsFirst will also support you to:
- Deal with difficult issues
- Set family goals
- Plan for your family’s future
- Meet and get to know other parents
