Home Visiting

 

Home Visiting 

Early childhood home visiting with Parenting Communities is a direct service to families with children from birth to age 6. Home visits are completely voluntary. 

 

Things home visitors can help with: 
  • information on child development  
  • providing age-appropriate activities 
  • conduct developmental screenings 
  • share stress reduction strategies 
  • discovering new ways to understand behaviors  
  • support families with the complexities of raising a family 
  • create shared experiences with children that help prepare them for their lifelong journey of learning 
  • reflecting upon family life, parenting, the child(ren), and relationships in a safe, non-judgmental way 
  • connect families with other families in the community 
  • find access to resources in the community  
  • TO HELP PARENTS BE THE PARENTS WE DREAM OF BEING
