HIPPY US:
Empowering Parents as Their Child’s First Teacher
Building confidence, connection, and school readiness — one family at a time.
HIPPY US (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters) is a nationally recognized, evidence-based home visiting model that helps parents prepare their young children for school success.
Through guided activities, story-based learning, and role-play, HIPPY empowers families to create meaningful moments that build confidence, strengthen relationships, and close school-readiness gaps — all within the comfort of their own homes.
At S&S, we are proud to support the mission of HIPPY US by supplying participating sites and organizations with the materials and resources they need to deliver this transformative program.
About the HIPPY US Program
HIPPY (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters) equips parents to be their child’s first and most important teacher.
The program provides:
• Evidence-based curriculum for children ages 2–5 focused on literacy, language, math, and social-emotional development.
• Peer home visitors — community members and former HIPPY parents who provide materials, model lessons, and build trust.
• Weekly activity packets and storybooks that guide parents in fostering curiosity, comprehension, and early learning.
• Group meetings and family connections that strengthen relationships and support long-term engagement.
• A proven pathway to success, increasing children’s readiness for kindergarten and parental involvement in education.

The curriculum is so easy to follow, it has the scripts - every week is a different activity connected to the book. For me it's more about being connected with your child. I believe in the program. I know the impact it has on the mother and the child. Becoming a HIPPY Mom first prepared me to become a HIPPY instructor, and it brings me so much joy that I am helping to change their kids and their family.
