Tribal Home Visiting is a supportive service to Native families who are expecting and have children between the ages of 0-5 years. Home Visiting is for anyone who wants to learn what makes their baby do the things they do, learn about their child’s growth and development, grow their own skills when parenting gets hard, and learn how to be a better parent for their child. Services are delivered to families by a Home Visitor in a family’s home or other comfortable space. Tribal Home Visiting gives Native families a chance to succeed and thrive so children can grow healthy and happy. Check out more of our work in the video “Working with Heart: Tribal Home Visiting.”

Early Intervention is a home or community-based service that provides personalized support to your family and baby. We partner with you to help identify and answer the questions or concerns you may have about your child. Our team comes directly to you, to provide ideas, information, and support that fits into your family’s day to day routines and activities. All of our services are flexible, based on your family’s preferences, and completely FREE!
This responsive and supportive service is here to help your child if they may have special developmental needs, health concerns, or environmental risk. Some examples of infants we can support are; helping your infant or toddler with their talking, walking, and/or eating; or maybe they were born with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, have trouble hearing or seeing, or born early or having trouble gaining weight. We also provide supports to those who have had Children, Youth & Family Department (CYFD) involvement, history of drug use, mental illness or homelessness.
Anyone can make a referral to our Early Intervention program.

NAPPR’s Early Head Start programs provide in-home visiting support services and child development services for infants and toddlers under age 3 and expectant mothers through two distinct programs, Home-Based and through its Early Head Start Center.
Home-Based
Under NAPPR’s Home-Based program, staff visit expectant mothers and families with infants and toddlers within Bernalillo and Sandoval counties. Using Creative Curriculum, the program provides educational activities, parenting resources, bimonthly socialization and much more. NAPPR staff also administer developmental screenings during 90-minute visits, which are provided to 48 families yearly free of charge.
Early Head Start Center
NAPPR’s Early Head Start Center located at 801 Girard NE in Albuquerque provides child development services for 24 children ages 12 months through 36 months. The child care center follows a 1-teacher-to-4-children ratio, and group sizes never exceed eight children in a classroom. The center is licensed through the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department and currently holds a two-star license. The Early Head Start Center is open year-around.
Philosophy
The Early Head Start program created in the Albuquerque area in March 2010 is more than an educational system — it is a comprehensive program incorporating school-readiness, health, nutrition and access to social services, all services and support to empower the families we serve. The program is dedicated to improving the lives of low-income families living in our community. We also encourage and promote transitional services and activities to prepare children and their families attending local Head Starts, child care centers, pre-k or public school.
