INAIPIRD🇩🇴

The Instituto Nacional de Atención Integral a la Primera Infancia (INAIPI) is a Dominican Republic public institution dedicated to supporting young children, particularly those living in vulnerable circumstances. Its work places children at the center of its efforts and promotes their development during the early years through comprehensive care and family support.

INAIPI delivers services through two main programs. Centros de Atención Integral a la Primera Infancia (CAIPI) provide specialized, extended-day care for children, offering experiences designed to support their development through timely, purposeful, and meaningful intervention. Centros de Atención Integral a la Infancia y la Familia (CAFI) work with families, recognizing them as children’s first educators. The program helps caregivers strengthen positive parenting practices and use strategies that support children’s development.

Through these services, INAIPI seeks to contribute to children’s well-being while helping families build skills and confidence in their caregiving role. The institution also shares public information, news, documents, and updates about its centers and activities, and emphasizes staff training as an important part of protecting and serving children.
