What is ParentChild+? 

ParentChild+ is our early learning programme to support families to improve their home learning environment so children are ready for school. Contact is intensive, twice weekly with a home visit and a group session at a Family Hub venue. 

This highly successful programme has been delivered in the USA for over 50 years. Children who have been through this programme:

  • are 50% more likely to measure ready for school
  • enter school performing 10 months above their chronological age

How does it work?

Our Early Years Home Visitors visit families for half an hour, twice a week using educational toys, books and games to help a child learn and develop. The programme lasts for 9 months with 74 visits  We work alongside parents to demonstrate how to increase verbal and non-verbal interactions, develop positive behaviours and encourage early literacy skills. Parents learn how to become their child’s first teacher; children are then ready for school and do well in their education, which sets them up for positive futures. 

Early Learning Home visitors take either a free toy, book or make a home made activity each week, Early Learning home visitors model with parents how to play and read with their child.

Our ParentChild+ Programme helps parents get their children ready for school, ready to learn and ready to shine. If you live in Westminster or Kensington & Chelsea, and are worried about your child's communication and social skills, we can help you too.
