COA's HIPPY Program (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters)

Program Overview

HIPPY (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters), is a free, bi-lingual school-readiness program that takes place entirely in the home. HIPPY empowers parents as their child's first teacher, preparing their children for success in school and beyond. The model supports parents as their children's first teacher by providing them the tools, skills, and confidence to teach young children in the home.

Through this program, parents engage in fun, interactive learning sessions with their children, building a strong foundation for future academic success. HIPPY is designed to equip parents with easy-to-use activities and strategies that make learning fun and engaging for your child, all within the comfort of your home. If you prefer to come to us, we also offer onsite at our Goldin Center. Our program not only focuses on academic skills but also fosters a love for learning, strengthens parent-child relationships, and builds confidence in your ability to support your child's education.

Curriculum:
