Home visiting is a proven early-intervention strategy that pairs volunteer families with services from pre-birth up to a child’s first five years to improve health, development, and early learning. Program models allow mothers with newborns the opportunity to receive health care and parenting information through home visits from nurses, social workers or child development specialists. As South Carolina’s federal grantee and lead agency for the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program, Children’s Trust supports four evidence-based home visiting models – Healthy Families America, Nurse-Family Partnership, Parents as Teachers, and Family Check-Up.
