Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY)
Early Childhood Education–Ages 3-5

Help your child prepare for success in Kindergarten

Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) is an early childhood education program. It works with families in the comfort of their own homes to support parents by making sure their children are ready for kindergarten.

We meet with caregivers and children once per week for one hour. During this time, we:

Guide parents through a carefully developed, progressive school readiness curriculum
Strengthen children’s cognitive skills, early literacy skills, social/emotional skills and physical development
Practice role playing activities with parents that they can do with their children at home
Measure children’s progress towards school readiness

Once per month, we host a group meeting where PAT families can learn together. Like home visits, these meetings have a dual focus:

Activity stations teach parents activities they can do with their children, including early literacy and math, social-emotional skills, and gross motor skills
Education about parenting skills and family well-being
