Healthy Babies, Healthy Children (HBHC) is a comprehensive, family-centered program created to support parents and caregivers in giving their children the best possible start in life. Its purpose is to ensure that every child—regardless of background—has the opportunity to grow and thrive in a safe, nurturing, and healthy environment. The program is dedicated to assisting Indigenous, non-Indigenous, Métis, and Inuit families, recognizing and respecting the diverse cultural values, traditions, and strengths within each community.

HBHC focuses on promoting healthy child development from birth to six years of age, providing families with the knowledge, tools, and resources they need to reach their full potential. Through a combination of education, guidance, and hands-on support, parents gain confidence in their caregiving abilities and learn how to foster their child’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. The program emphasizes early intervention, understanding that the first few years of a child’s life are critical to lifelong health, learning, and development.
