Preparing the Youngest Children for School Success: The Parent-Child Home Program
Benjamin, Sarah
Zero to Three (J), v30 n3 p34-38 Jan 2010
There is a great disparity in early care and education opportunities between homeless children and their peers. The high mobility of families who are homeless and a lack of transportation to and from a center-based program present significant barriers to participation in early education. The authors describe a unique approach to meeting the needs of children experiencing homelessness by providing child development and family support services through a mobile outreach effort using the Parent-Child Home Program model of home visiting.
