First Things First: Delton Francis is the Navajo Nation Region Champion. See more local, state and national education news here

By First Things First

Delton Francis has been selected as the 2022 First Things First Navajo Nation Region Champion for Young Children.

The award is given to local champions who actively volunteer their time to raise public awareness of the importance of early childhood development and health.

Francis, who is a prevention specialist with the Navajo Nation Department of Behavioral Mental Health Services in the Kaibeto Outpatient Treatment Center, provided parents and caregivers in his community with information and resources to help them support their young child’s healthy development.

He distributed care packages during the pandemic to families in his community who were in need of baby formula, diapers, baby wipes and it also included FTF learning kits. Francis handed out FTF-sponsored children’s books and other reading materials with information on brain development to encourage reading.

Francis volunteered his time and was the moderator for many of the Early Childhood Speaker Series talks and served as the Navajo translator on many of the speaker series. The series was designed to give participants, especially parents and caregivers of young children an opportunity to increase their awareness of early childhood topics. These series are recorded and aired on the local radio station KTNN.
