The First Born® Program is based at Santa Fe Community College in Santa Fe. The program is relationship-centered and curriculum-based. Through regular home visits, families identify personal goals, recognize challenges and opportunities for growth and build a healthy, loving, playful relationship with their children.

The First Born® Program supports child development in the areas of social-emotional development, language, literacy, and problem-solving skills. Investing early means better outcomes for children, happier families, and healthier communities.
