Personal Visits

Personal visits are a time once or twice a month when an Early Childhood and Family Educator meets with the family in their home or at the center. During this time, both the parent and Early Childhood and Family Educator share their knowledge around the child’s development. Throughout each visit, the parent learns how their interactions foster their child’s growth and learning and how what their child is doing connects to his or her development. In addition, annual developmental and health screenings are conducted and families are connected to community resources.
