Parent-Child Plus

PARENTCHILD+ CORE MODEL OVERVIEW

ParentChild+ is an evidence-based school readiness model that preempts the achievement gap by providing young children and their parents with learning tools and skills. The program is based on these four pillars:

Reaching families where they are:

Families with young children receive 92 twice-weekly 30-minute visits to support healthy development and educational success.

Building trust:

Our nationwide network of program sites hires community-based Early Learning Specialists who share a linguistic and cultural background with the families with whom they work.

Promoting parent-child interaction:

Early Learning Specialists provide families with high quality learning tools and guidance to stimulate parent-child interaction, develop language, early literacy, social-emotional skills, and build school readiness.

Facilitating strong community connections:

Early Learning Specialists become trusted advisors, connecting families and home-based providers to other community resources including food, housing, medical, and educational services.
