Home Visiting Early Childhood Programs
Engaging parents to help young children develop & thrive
The first years of life are among the most important for social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development. Parents play a vital role in the early growth and development of their children. Parents are children’s first and most important teachers, while they are also responsible for bonding, nurturing, and providing for children to ensure the earliest milestones are met.
New parents, particularly those with limited resources and facing other challenges in their own lives, are faced with a considerable task. Through our home-visiting programs, we provide one-on-one support with parents to make sure they have the knowledge, skills, and resources to take on this task.
