CPCF Education Begins at Home - Denver, CO
 
 
 
The Colorado Parent & Child Foundation (CPCF) promotes and supports high-quality early childhood education programs and family initiatives which inspire parent involvement and facilitate school readiness. To achieve this mission, the organization works in partnership with local organizations across the state to ensure the success of two evidence-based early childhood program models that deliver home-based, parent involved, early learning opportunities that strengthen families and help children begin school ready to learn. The Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) programming empowers parents as the primary educators of their children in the home and fosters parent involvement in school and community life to maximize the chances of successful early school experiences. HIPPY is targeted to at-risk families, typically defined as low-income and parents with limited formal education with children ages 3, 4, and 5. Parents as Teachers (PAT) programming provides the information, support and encouragement parents need to help their children develop optimally during the crucial early years of life. PAT is targeted to parents with children prenatal to kindergarten entry. CPCF’s VISTA in Denver, Colorado will increase the capacity of the Focus Points Family Resource Center HIPPY/PAT site to utilize volunteers to enhance early literacy for families; will identify additional community resources to connect families with needed services; and will secure additional funding for the HIPPY/PAT site to expand and fund unmet program needs.
