The nurses visit weekly and bi-weekly during the pregnancy, infancy and toddler period. The education curriculum includes information during each phase of the development. This relationship based model builds on the parent’s strengths supporting the parent child relationship, healthy parent-child outcomes and goals for the future helping first time parents succeed.
