A Love of Learning Begins at Home

Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) is an evidenced-based parent involvement, school readiness program that helps parents prepare their three, four, and five year old children for success in school and beyond.

HIPPY helps parents empower themselves as their children's first teacher by giving them the tools, skills and confidence they need to work with their children in the home. The program was designed to bring families, organizations and communities together and remove any barriers to participation that may include limited financial resources or lack of education.

HIPPY is an Approved Model for Federal Home Visiting

Based on our program research, HIPPY was named one of seven home visiting models that meets the evidence-based criteria of the Maternal, Infant, Early Childhood Home Visiting program (MIECHV). Because of the positive outcomes of our research, HIPPY is uniquely positioned to help states and communities meet their goals of increasing school readiness among vulnerable populations.

About MIECHV
 

The MIECHV program is designed to strengthen and improve programs and coordination of services for at-risk communities and to improve outcomes for those families. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) see home visiting as one of several strategies embedded in a quality early childhood system that promotes maternal, infant and early childhood health, safety and development, as well as strong parent-child relationships.

The HIPPY Fit
 

HIPPY has a long and remarkable history of successful adaptation to varying locations, participants, and learning styles. We continue to serve an increasing need for family-centered human development, supplying parents with critical child development information and continued support in translating that knowledge into successful parenting techniques. HIPPY ensures that every child is given the opportunity for early learning success in school and beyond.
