This is a wonderful resource for all parents. It is an extension of the school system and is funded by the school districts in the area. A representative specializing in Early Childhood Education visits your home once a month. They review the child's development, provide an activity to do at that time, provide the parents with useful informations on child development and the best activities to encourage a child's development in every stage. These visits start from birth and can be very informative to even the best parents. And it's all a free service supported by your tax dollars. There is no reason not to partake, as the teachers come to your home at a time convenient to you, even offering evening appointments. The idea is that these early visits get parents involved in education from the beginning and therefore strengthen families and give children a better base at home when they do start school. Wonderful program I wish they had in my new home in Florida.
