Early Education and Support

Home-based services refer to programs where a dedicated parent educator conducts regular family visits to support and strengthen parent-child relationships and engage families around children’s learning and development. The parent educators use the Parents As Teachers curriculum to promote early learning, health, and family well-being. In these home-based programs, parents and children have opportunities to:

• participate in the Raising A Reader family literacy program
• connect with medical, dental, and mental health services to ensure that children are receiving the support they need
• receive screening and referrals to social services in the community
• receive support in achieving their family goals, such as employment or housing stability, continued education, and financial security
• attend parent education and socialization events
