About First Born Program of Los Alamos:
The First Born Program of Los Alamos is a free and voluntary home visiting program for all families in Los Alamos, prenatal through age 5. The program is relationship‐centered and curriculum‐based. Families who participate receive support, information about pregnancy, early childhood development, health, nutrition and safety and learn fun activities to help build brain development and learning. Through weekly home visits, families identify personal goals, recognize challenges and opportunities for growth and build a healthy, loving, playful relationship with their child. The program is funded through New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department, the Delle Foundation, N3B and local donors. For more information, please visit http://www.firstbornla.org
