What is KidsFirst?

KidsFirst is a home-based early childhood development program offered to families who would benefit from additional support in areas that have an impact on child health and development and family well-being. The vision of KidsFirst is that all children enjoy a good start in life and are nurtured by caring families and communities. 

What does KidsFirst provide?

Families agree to weekly home visits and are provided support from a team of professionals that includes social workers, nurses, and counsellors. The interdisciplinary team that supports the program uses a strength based approach and is responsive to the realities of the lives of the families involved and provides services in innovative ways that differ from conventional service provision.

Who is eligible for KidsFirst services?

Families must reside in the city of Saskatoon and be either pregnant or have a child under 24 months of age.
