Parent-Child Home Program demonstrates promise in improving children’s cognitive development: The Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP) is a home visitation program that supports positive parenting practices and helps parents learn how to stimulate their children's cognitive development. The Parent-Child Home Program is targeted at families that are challenged by poverty, isolation, and language, literacy, and cultural barriers, and that have children aged two at the time of program initiation. Two evaluations of PCHP that met PPN criteria found that the program improved children's scores on tests related to cognitive development. Both studies also found that the program improved parents' interactions with children.

Home Is Where the Start Is: Every family with a newborn baby deserves comprehensive supports from the prenatal period to preschool. While the birth of a baby should be a joyous event and the first few years of a child’s life should be filled with hope and promise, parents usually find childbirth and child-rearing to be challenging experiences. They are not experiences that any family should go through alone. This paper describes a system of services that supports new families by providing three components: universal prenatal care, postpartum screening, and comprehensive home visiting.
