What is Home Visiting?
Home visiting connects expectant parents and families with young children to a trained, family support professional who provides customized coaching and guidance during pregnancy, postpartum and the early stages of a childβs development. Home visitors help parents understand their role as their childβs first, and most important, teacher. Home visitors help families realize their strengths, and unlock their childβs potential.
