Children First, OK Nurse Family Partnership

Children First is a no cost voluntary family support and home visitation program for 1st time mom’s who are expecting their first child (prior to 29 weeks to age 2) based on eligibility.

Home Visits

Home Visit Schedule
Visits begin while you are pregnant and continue until your child’s second birthday. The visit schedule can be tailored to meet your needs. You and your nurse will agree on the day and time of each visit.
