The Parent-Child Home Program is a home-based parent support, attachment-enhancing and early literacy program. The program sends trained para-professional home visitors into participating families' homes twice a week for two years. The Home visitor uses carefully chosen toys and books to model developmentally appropriate verbal interaction and teaching through play. Through modeling and constant ongoing opportunities to practice both during visits and between them, the home visitor helps parents embrace their role as their child's first and most important teacher. PCHP facilitates the climate of cooperation, love, and mutual enjoyment and appreciation so indispensable for healthy social, emotional and cognitive development on which all future learning depends.
