A Typical Visit
One of our home visitors will call to schedule your visit. We get started by checking in on how things have been going since the last visit.
The home visitor asks about the activities that were provided that month. For example, a shape matching game with Velcro, then a small art project like coloring with crayons or paint. The home visitor models and works with the child and with the activities.
The home visitor then shares their screen so they can read books together. The books vary depending on the child’s interest. At the end of the visit, they sing a good-bye song.
The home visitor asks the family if they need any supplies, like diapers, formula, etc. If so, we connect them to resources.
