Parent-Child Home Program
The Parent-Child Home Program is designed to stimulate the development
of educationally at-risk Pre-K children. Trained Home Visitors model
to parents/caregivers how to talk and read to their two- and three-year-old
children, using developmentally appropriate books and toys. This family
literacy program is home-based and provides educational services for
each child, preparing him/her to enter pre-school at age four. Children
who complete the Parent-Child Home Program enter school ready to learn
and graduate from high school at the same rate as middle-income students.
This program provides services for 40 at-risk families, and funding
is through subscription in Suffolk County school districts. The Parent-Child
Home Program currently operates in Brentwood and Central Islip School
Districts.
