Mission Statement
HIPPY programs empower parents as primary educators of their children in the home and foster parent involvement in school and community life to maximize the chances of successful early school experiences.

What is HIPPY?
HIPPY recognizes that parents are their child's first and most important teacher and helps them work with their four and five year-olds at home. The program helps these children build their skills and confidence before starting school. Parents receive weekly home visits from a trained home visitor. Home visits include role-playing, learning packets, storybooks, and materials. The HIPPY program follows the BCPS school calendar. HIPPY helps parents make a strong home school connection.
