SKCDC sends appreciation to our amazing Home Visitors, Denise and Gwen.
Through weekly home visits, they create and maintain a relationship with each family. Denise and Gwen partner with families to understand their hopes and expectations for their child.
Home visitors work with parents to use the many day-to-day routines and activities in the home and community as learning opportunities. For example, getting dressed in the morning is an opportunity to talk about colors, the weather, and direction and spatial sense. Home visitors can help parents understand how these are school readiness activities.
In addition to their work on child development, Home Visitors work with other program staff and community partners to coordinate such services as health, mental health, and oral health services for the family. They provide annual health, vision, hearing, and developmental screening.
Twice monthly Discovery Days provide opportunities for families to come together, build community, and learn from one another.
In an ongoing way, Denise and Gwen help families move forward with their goals for well-being, economic stability, and self-sufficiency.
