Home Visitation
Home Visitation is a service delivery strategy to provide support for parents to better understand their child’s development skills through daily home activities. Home Visitation is recognized as a cost-effective means of promoting infant and child health, preventing maltreatment, and improving family functioning.
These services are provided by bilingual and bicultural staff to support pregnant moms and new parents to promote infant and child health, foster educational development and school readiness, and help prevent child abuse and neglect.
