HIPPY Halton
Children, Youth & Family ServicesFundraising goal: $15,000
HIPPY Halton hires and trains home visitors to connect with and teach parents of vulnerable children aged 18 months to 5 years vital preschool skills. Home Visitors, who are HIPPY mothers, visit the families in their homes once a week for one hour over 30 weeks. They use role-play to provide explicit instruction so parents can teach their children vital pre-reading, pre-writing, and pre-math skills needed for success in kindergarten.
HIPPY also supports families by addressing parenting challenges through group meetings, where they can build a strong social support system. Parents also improve their English skills and their understanding of their community and its services. HIPPY Halton creates opportunities for families to thrive.
