A child’s first 1,000 days represent a critical window for development. Home visiting services help parents meet their child’s needs and significantly improve their chances for success. Home visiting meets parents where they are and provides tailored support at no cost to them, helping them create positive parent-child relationships that build a strong foundation for their future. An evidence-based, early-intervention strategy, home visiting connects expectant and new parents with a trained professional such as a nurse, social worker or child development specialist to help guide and support them through those critical first 1,000 days of a child’s life.
