HIPPY USA's work in home-based-childcare curriculum and pilot is featured in Child Trends.

​

​

HIPPY USA believes that every child deserves a quality preschool education and that parents want the best for their children.  Early education is key to a child's brighter future, and parents are their child's first teacher.

what we believe

Our work focuses on the power of parents and caregivers to positively affect early brain development and school readiness for children ages 2-5.  Families report increased positive interaction with their kids and an increased focus on literacy from receiving free HIPPY books each year to build their child's home library.  HIPPY is one of the original 7 research based home visiting programs, recognized for its positive outcomes for school readiness and parent engagement.

why our program

Building on the strengths of families, peer home visitors deliver top quality curriculum to parents for 30 weeks, one hour each week.  Parents then use the HIPPY resources and new skills learned to teach their children for 20 minutes each day.  Our methods and curriculum have proven effective across the world with over 20 years of evidence-based research to show that HIPPY works! 

what we teach

HIPPY USA has dedicated staff, school partners, service agencies, education and philanthropic supporters,  community leaders, advocates and families in 19 states and the District of Columbia comprising a total of 119 HIPPY sites.

where we are

Over 20 years of research conducted in the United States and countries around the world have proven that the HIPPY Model is effective improving school readiness, parent involvement, school attendance, classroom behavior, standardized test scores and overall academic performance of children that complete the program.

what we know

Whether it is giving, volunteering or advocating on behalf of children and families, education and economic advancement or our vital work overall, there are numerous ways that you can engage with HIPPY USA and make a difference for current and future generations.
