Kids First Home Visiting Program

KidsFirst focuses on the well being of Regina’s children and supports their healthy and productive development from prenatal to 3 years. KidsFirst is a child centered, family focused, strength-based program; focuses on the strengths of the family. The program is culturally appropriate, with the inclusion of Indigenous Organizations and an emphasis on Prevention and Early Intervention.
