Its work connects families with community resources, healthcare, education, and supportive services to promote healthy development and prevent child abuse and neglect. Founded in the early 1980s and based in Glenwood Springs, the program is one of Colorado’s longest-standing home visitation initiatives, with origins dating to a demonstration project funded by a Maternal Child Health block grant and later incorporated as an independent nonprofit.

It operates with a small staff and aims to support diverse families and ensure access to resources that address early parenting needs.
