The Colorado Parent and Child Foundation (CPCF) administers two evidence-based early childhood home visiting programs that aim to accomplish the vision that parents are their child’s first and most influential teachers who prepare children for success in school and life. The two programs—Parents as Teachers (PAT) and Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY)— together are administered to families of children age birth through kindergarten entry in 36 programs throughout Colorado. Parents as Teachers also serves women throughout pregnancy.
