Home Visits by a Parent Educator

Our trained, certified Parent Educators can’t wait to support you at the beginning of your child’s life! Even better, they’ll come to you—working around your weekday schedule to find the most convenient time and place to meet. Regular visits happen at least monthly, last about an hour, and include play-based activities that are fun for your baby and informative for you as a parent. During these visits, Parent Educators also provide helpful information about age appropriate parenting skills and ideas for activities that strengthen developmental skills including language, thinking, and movement. Your Parent Educator can answer your questions, provide information, connect you to resources, and support you as a parent.
