NAPPR is dedicated to improving the lives of Native and
non-Native families in a broad variety of ways, for a broad range of family and child needs. We have multiple home-based services, where our experienced staff work directly with caregivers and children within their communities, as well as
our renowned Early Head Start day care center that provides superior early development education in the heart of Albuquerque.
Home-Based Services
Whether it’s providing developmental support for infants,
toddlers, and expectant mothers through our Early Head Start program, supporting Tribal communities through our Tribal Home Visiting program, or supporting special needs or at-risk children through our Early Intervention program, NAPPR is dedicated to coming to you and working with you and your children in the comfort of your home. NAPPR feels strongly that the best way to support parents and children is to meet them where they are, literally and figuratively. This creates a safe, supportive environment
and enables truly intimate, custom care for the caregivers and their children.
Early Head Start Center
NAPPR also provides developmental support for infants and toddlers at our Early Head Start Center. With it’s extremely low teacher to child ratio, children are assured truly attentive support from EHSC’s dedicated and experienced staff. 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.
Since the day we first opened our doors back in 1982, NAPPR
has been committed to serving the Native American community. While we currently
serve both Native and non-Native caregivers and children, we are sensitive to
the unique needs and experiences of Native people across all of our programs.
NAPPR’s Early Intervention program has been providing
culturally appropriate, holistic, relationship focused, community specific
services to Native American children and families for over 40 years. Our Early
Head Start program collaborates with other tribal Early Head Start /
Head Start programs in Native communities. These collaborations include shared
training, sharing resources and sharing ideas. NAPPR’s Tribal Home
Visiting program in particular focuses on Native communities. NAPPR provides
curriculum-based education, culturally enhanced activities and resources to
support raising Native American children.
NAPPR recognizes that some children, and some circumstances, call for special attention. Through our Early Intervention, Tribal Home Visiting and Early Head Start programs our experienced staff are attentive to the specific needs of infants and toddlers with an environmental risk such as children who are in state custody.
We provide “Circle of Security,” which strengthens the
relationship between parents and their children when there’s been a disruption
in that relationship.
We connect families to resources such as behavioral health
and family counseling.
Through our Early Intervention Program, we also provide services for children up to age three with developmental delays, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, hearing loss, vision loss, and other challenging conditions. (hospital setting services / social work services, etc.)
