What is the HIPPY Program?

The HIPPY Program is a home visiting program offered to eligible clients to help them integrate into the Canadian society by empowering mothers to be the first and best teachers of their kids. HIPPY’s ultimate goal is to prepare preschool youngsters for school.  The home visitor works with the mom once a week for an hour. There is a 30-week curriculum (September-June) that focuses on literacy, math, science, motor, and language.
