Native families get a head start with home visits


Across the United States, native families are implementing community-based family preparedness efforts in order to create a pathway that leads to school-readiness for children. At Taos Pueblo in New Mexico, this program is known as Tiwa Babies. Comprised of home visits, communication strategies and a curriculum that tracks developmental milestones – all while also implementing Native cultural teachings – Tiwa Babies has shown significant success for those families that choose to participate.
