About us - What We Do
Programme Aims
Early Start is an intensive home visiting service for families/whanau with newborn babies where difficult situations and destructive life habits have the potential to negatively impact on the life chances of children in their care. We encourage and support families/whanau to provide each of their children with a positive and enjoyable childhood experience.
Early Start uses a planned, focused and systematic approach to intervention and intends to enable enrolled families/whanau to:
- To learn and apply nurturing parenting practices
- To discover personal strengths and abilities
- To develop new skills and practices
- To challenge negative and destructive life habits
