The HIPPY (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters) Program empowers parents to become their child’s first and most influential teacher. This evidence-based, home-visiting program is designed to prepare preschool-aged children for academic success by equipping parents with the tools and confidence to support early learning at home.

​

HIPPY uses a developmentally appropriate early literacy curriculum that promotes children's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. The curriculum includes easy-to-use educational activity packets and storybooks tailored for parents of children ages 2–5. Parents learn to deliver lessons through role-playing activities with a trained home visitor, often someone from their own community, such as a former HIPPY parent, under the guidance of a professionally trained program coordinator.
