Black Hills Special Services Cooperative – Home Visiting Programming
Marie, a parent of two young children in Rapid City, shared her experience with the Families First program.
Before joining the program, Marie and her husband struggled to engage their son in meaningful play activities. The Families First program provided them with hands-on play techniques and educational resources that transformed their approach to parenting.
Through the program’s guidance, Marie’s son began to show significant improvements in his motor skills and overall behavior. The family’s bond strengthened as they spent quality time together, making learning enjoyable for everyone.
“Families First has helped my husband and I learn how to help our son to learn with hands on play. It has made learning more enjoyable for everyone.” – Marie
