Family Foundations
​
Family Foundation services promote optimal early development, health and learning of young children by engaging their parents/guardians, after all parents are their child's first teachers.Â
Â
All staff have successfully completed the Parents As Teachers training. Parents as Teachers is an internationally-recognized evidence-based home visiting model backed with 35 years of research-proven outcomes for children and families.Â
Â
Services are offered to all families in Calhoun, Pocahontas and Webster counties at no charge. A family support worker will visit the family in their home or at a place of their choice.
