Welcome to the Home Visiting Portal!
About
The Home Visiting project provides for the consultation to Home Visiting programs sponsored by the Early Childhood Education and Care Division (ECECD) and the professional development of Home Visitors. The intent is to increase the capacity of staff who provide services directly to families and babies in New Mexico. The end result is that babies are happy, healthy, and successful.

The Center for Development and Disability’s (CDD) Early Childhood Learning Network (ECLN) maintains a team of Home Visiting Consultants who are experts in the area of infant and toddler development. This team provides consultation and technical assistance to Home Visiting programs located across five regions of New Mexico that are sponsored by ECECD.
The Home Visiting Consultant Team provides core and advanced practice consultations to program staff, with a focus on a relationship-based, culturally competent, and a reflective approach. The New Mexico Association for Infant Mental Health (NMAIMH) Competencies for culturally sensitive, relationship-based, reflective approaches are used as our guide. The Home Visiting Consultants are endorsed by NMAIMH (IMH-E). Home Visiting programs are supported by a lead consultant, with additional input from the entire team of consultants, on minimally a monthly basis, with more assistance, based on program needs. This is to provide a parallel reflective practice experience for Program Managers, who may then provide the same to the Home Visitors on staff.
Resources for home visitors and supervisors are also available on this website, including newsletters, tips and resources, videos, recordings from Community of Learners and Home Visiting Meetings, training information, tools, documents, and forms.
