What are the benefits of HIPPY? |
Each local HIPPY Program is staffed by a professionally trained coordinator and a team of well trained Homebased Educators. Together they work with you to schedule a time that is most convenient for your home visit.
A Homebased Educator will come to your home to role play the "free" HIPPY curriculum with you and will provide at least nine (9) story books over a period of thirty (30) weeks. In addition to the above benefits, HIPPY also provides an opportunity for parents to. . . .

- Improve parenting skills and knowledge on a variety of child-rearing topics
- Stay at home and still provide quality education services to their own child with few barriers
- Social interaction opportunities for children
