Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters

Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) is a structured, home-based model focused on parent-child centered learning designed to remove barriers and to reach low income families with limited education to become their child’s first teacher. The family is provided with a set of developmentally appropriate materials, curriculum, and books designed to strengthen their children’s cognitive skills, early literacy skills, social/emotional and physical development.

Through HIPPY, parents not only become actively involved in the lives of their children, but they also assist their children to reach their full potential as they prepare to enter school. The HIPPY program is available for children ages 2 – 5 years old.

HIPPY is available to families in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami Dade.
