If you're curious about Reach-Up Head Start's Home Visiting program, it's best to hear from the Home Visiting Teachers about the significance of this program in your child's educational journey.

"During our home visit, we spend time with you and your child doing activities that support your child’s learning and development. We are partners with you. We learn from your family, build on what you already do, and find simple ways to make everyday moments meaningful."

"During weekly home visits, I bring activities based on the child’s and family’s interests. Together, we explore different ways to play and interact while following the child’s lead. If a child would rather roll crayons across the floor than color with them, that works for me! We might turn it into a game, talk about where the crayons are rolling, name their colors, or narrate what the child is doing to support language development."
