About Great Kids, Inc.

To date, the GKI approach is being used in more than 600 communities in 40 states and the District of Columbia as well as in over 100 communities in 7 Canadian provinces and 10 communities in 6 Philippines provinces.

These 700+ communities have adapted the GKI approach for supporting families of young children in their HFA, HANDS, Baby First, or other home visitation and child care giving programs.

Since 1975 the directors and staff have been involved in Healthy Start/Healthy Families and were the partnering architects of both Hawaii’s Healthy Start and the original Healthy Families America approach to working with families. Our innovative and practical strategies are founded on more than two decades of experience in the work, based on best practice, and supported by research.
