Benefits of Home Visiting for Families in Nevada

home instruction for parent going over materials

Sunrise Children’s Foundation in Las Vegas, Nevada, offers various free home-based Early Childhood education programs that empower parents to be their child’s first teacher. 

As a parent, you’ll be provided with a set of developmentally appropriate materials, curriculum, and books designed to strengthen your children’s cognitive skills, early literacy skills, and social, emotional, and physical development. You’ll also be guided through the expert support of highly trained and experienced parent educators. 

Knowing how to help support your child during these critical formative years can have a lasting impact on your child’s school readiness and overall academic success.

Discover the Value of Working With a Certified Parent Educator

Our certified parent educators help parents engage their children in daily learning activities that promote literacy and school readiness. Serving income-eligible families throughout Clark County, trained parent educators conduct year-round sessions for a maximum of three years to enable the children to enter school ready to learn with the ability and confidence to succeed.

When you enroll your child in a home visit program, you give your child the advantage of school readiness. This combination of skills and experiences allows children to have a greater chance of positive outcomes when they enter the school setting — whether it be early Head Start programs, preschool, or kindergarten.

Children who are enrolled in home visit programs exhibit the following behaviors:

  • Greater interest in learning
  • Stronger listening and comprehension skills
  • Improved social skills
  • Greater ability to regulate emotions and strong feelings
  • Minimized feelings of separation anxiety when they do start school
  • Better acclimation to the school setting and formal Early Childhood education programs
  • Familiarity with the learning process and the introduction of new material
  • Improved independence

Parents also benefit greatly from the support offered through home visit programs. For example, parents will become part of a greater network that focuses on helping children meet developmental milestones, whether it be social, emotional, cognitive, or physical.

As a parent, you won’t feel like you are alone in the journey of Early Childhood education. Instead, you’ll have a community that you can turn to when you need it most.

Additionally, you can also get connected to other community resources that can help you and your family lead healthier, happier lives. This can include getting connected to community events and even Social Service programs, like the Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC), which can help with the cost of food, connect you with parenting education, and other support.

What Is Home Visiting?

Home visits in Nevada involve an experienced and friendly parent educator coming into the home to provide you with one-on-one support in your child’s overall development. Home visits are compiled with the best practices detailed by Nevada’s Office of Early Learning and Development (OELD). 

You’ll work with this parent educator to understand the fundamentals of early childhood development, and you gain the skills to help your child work toward meeting milestones, building essential skills as they relate to their motor, cognitive, and social developmental milestones.

Through this partnership, you can set your child up for success, helping them gain the skills to meet the many milestones that happen during these crucial early years. This partnership will also empower you with the ability to identify developmental needs that your child might have. Through early intervention, you’ll give your child a chance to work through the strategies and skills that will positively impact their lives.

How Home Visiting Helps Parents

Sunrise Children’s Foundation home visiting programs begin with the basic tenet that all parents want the very best for their children but might need support and help in developing their children’s potential. 

Our friendly parent educators teach parents fun and easy ways to engage their children in educational activities. We even provide additional support through group meetings and special events. This allows you to connect with professionals and like-minded parents who want to help their children succeed. 

One way the Sunrise Children’s Foundation home visit programs stand out is that you will be met with judgment-free and supportive care no matter where you are in your parenthood journey. 

For many parents, this type of supported care creates lasting, productive connections where they know they have a network of support they can tap into when they need it most.
