Brief Description:
The Parent Child-Home Program (PCHP) has been rated by the CEBC in the area of Home Visiting. The PHCP, a national early childhood program, promotes parent-child interaction and positive parenting to enhance children’s cognitive and social-emotional development. The program prepares children for academic success and strengthens families through intensive home visiting. Twice weekly home visits are designed to stimulate the parent-child verbal interaction, reading, and educational play critical to early childhood brain development. Each week the home visitors bring a new book or educational toy that remains with the families permanently. Using the book or toy, home visitors model for parents and children reading, conversation, and play activities that stimulate quality verbal interaction and age-appropriate developmental expectations.
