Children First

Pregnancy and Parenting

The Children First Program can teach you the things you need to know and the skills you need to have to be a good parent. This program is community-based and offers registered public health nurse home visitation to families who are expecting their first child. The program is voluntary and does not replace your health care provider or family doctor.
