supporting early child growth and development
- linking to community resources
Early childhood development research shows the years from 0 to 6 are foundational—early developmental experiences set lifelong patterns for communication, physical development and learning. For young children, positive attachment, responsive caregiving and environmental stimulation are particularly important. Home Visitation focuses on these areas of development and parent-child interaction.
How AHVNA Helps Families
AHVNA supports agencies that provide Home Visitation services for families with children aged 0 to 6 years. The goal is to promote best practices in the field of Home Visitation.
Parents learn about child development, critical thinking development, parenting skills and problem solving from their Home Visitor. Mastering these skills help parents support their child’s growth. AHVNA helps Home Visitors expand their knowledge in these areas and more, so they can facilitate activities that promote parent-child bonding and attachment for the families they serve. We offer a variety of training opportunities for Home Visitors, including early childhood development and parenting workshops.
Why does Home Visitation work?
- Home Visitation provides an opportunity to partner with families in their context and focus services on their strengths, needs and values.
- Home Visitation reaches isolated families unable to participate in other services.
