“HIPPY helped me realize that I am my child’s first teacher.” 💛

This powerful reminder is at the heart of what HIPPY does every day.

Through simple, meaningful activities, families are building stronger connections and helping their children grow, learn, and thrive.

📚 33.6% of families increased daily reading
🏫 17.5% increased use of public libraries

It’s more than a program—it’s support, confidence, and a reminder that even the smallest moments matter.

HIPPY Impact: One Fact at a Time
Did you know?
Some children participate in both home visiting programs and early childhood classrooms. This isn’t DUPLICATION —it’s layered support for families who need it most.

While classroom programs focus on early learning and social development, home visiting focuses on empowering parents to support learning at home.

Together, these services create a powerful partnership between school and home, helping children build stronger foundations for kindergarten and beyond.

When families face additional challenges, more support—not less—helps children succeed.

Dual service = Home Visiting + Centerbase working together.

For children with risk factors dual services provide:

🏠 Personalized support at home
🏫 Social & structured learning at school

Not duplication.
Not excess.

But layered protection and opportunity.

Because some children don’t just benefit from both —
they need both. 🌱
