Families with young children can enroll in StayWell’s free and voluntary home visitation program. StayWell’s Home Visiting Program provides a family-centered, strengths-based approach when working with parents and improves parent-child relationships. Visits occur on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis depending on the needs of the family. Home Visitors support families in the home environment where most early developmental learning occurs. Age appropriate activities are brought to the home to support and encourage parents/caregivers’ efforts. At times, basic needs such as diapers, can reduce the household stress, freeing parents to instead focus on developmental growth strategies for their young children.
Thanks to the Washington Montessori School for their generous donations from their annual “giving tree,” many families will have the basic resources they need to devote time and energy to engagement and play with their young children.
