HIPPY (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters)

The Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY), is a home-based, early intervention program that helps parents teach their three, four, and five-year-old children.

Twice a month, home visitors who are parents themselves, and reside in the targeted community, visit HIPPY parents in their home to role play the activity packets. Every other week, parents attend group meetings with other parents, HIPPY staff, consultants, and volunteers.
