The Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP), an evidence-based school readiness program that has been in existence for nearly 50 years and is administered locally by Friendship House, is expanding into the North Penn and Souderton areas! This in-home visitation program is for families who are struggling with some factor which places them at risk, such as low-income, low level of education, teen parents, single parent, and/or a developmental delay of the child. Counselors work with the parent/caregiver to show them how to encourage their toddler's development and prepare him/her to be successful in school, thus increasing rates of graduation for participants. In addition to the many educational and developmental benefits that result from participating in the program, families are allowed to keep the new toys or books that are given to the child during the sessions, as well.
More information about the PCHP program can be found on the Friendship House website. General information about the Parent-Child Home Program, which is available at various locations across the country and internationally, can also be found at Parent-Child.org.
Interested families may contact Julie Berry, Coordinator, and Stacy Dori, Regional Director at 610-327-2200). The year-long program begins this month, so interested families should call as soon as possible!
