Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY), a program of COA Youth and Family Centers, is a parent involvement, school-readiness program that helps parents prepare their two-, three-, and four-year old children for success in school and beyond.
Peer mentors provide parents with a set of carefully developed curriculum including books and materials designed to strengthen their children’s cognitive skills, early literacy skills, and social/emotional and physical development.
Parents and children read, play, and learn together every day in their homes and at monthly HIPPY Family Gathering Nights. Learn more about HIPPY here.
HIPPY empowers parents as the primary educators of their children in the home, and fosters parent involvement in school and community life. HIPPY families are more involved in their childrens’ schools and in their communities even after they finish the program, and their children are more successful in school!
