Description
The ParentChild+ is a West Valley School District-wide home-based literacy and parenting program, serving families since 2001. ParentChild+ works with 2 and 3 year olds and their parents, using a gentle approach, modeling quality reading, conversation, and play emphasizing the parent's role as the child's first teacher. Essential to the program is respect for privacy and the ethnic and cultural heritage of all families. Through the program, parents experience the joy and value of reading, talking, and playing with their children. Each family receives 46 toys and books over a two year period within the context of 96 home visits. The home visitors work to generate excitement about learning and verbal interaction in the home through books, toys and play. These books and educational toys are given as gifts to the families to continue the learning process. Program provides the following: - Free books and educational toys - Promotes parent-child interaction - Reaches families at home in their own environment - Family events twice a year - Screens children to assess development in speech, language, and hearing - Connects families to additional community resources - A positive bridge to entering school ready to learn
