Holy Cross Hospital’s First Steps Program provides home visiting services to parents of children ages prenatal to five, including fathers, adoptive parents, and foster families in Taos and Western Colfax Counties.

Home visiting services provide parents with information, support, and access to resources in our community that promote early childhood development and a positive family foundation.

We help parents adjust, grow, and change as they make their way through the ups and downs of parenthood. We also celebrate with them as their child grows and changes. Each milestone – cutting a first tooth, or taking a first step – is a joy to witness.

First Steps home visitors help prepare parents to cope with the everyday stressors associated with the transition to parenting, which are inevitable when a new baby enters your family. We work with other community organizations to help parents navigate the systems that are available to reduce those stressors. This leaves more time and energy for the joys of parenting as the family builds a relationship with their child.
