What is HIPPY?
HIPPY is a fun, free home-based parenting and early childhood learning program that supports parents and carers to be their child’s first teacher. The program supports families for two years and aims to build the confidence and skills of parents and carers to create a positive home learning environment through play-based activities.
Each family is paired with a trained HIPPY Tutor who will meet with the families regularly to provide mentoring and support with educational activities to provide each child with the confidence to start school with a love of learning. At the end of their journey, each family gets to celebrate their successes during a graduation ceremony.
The HIPPY program also provides a safe space for families to build relationships with each other and to be involved in some fun creative activities and excursions. These sessions are also an opportunity to share and learn about local services that can provide support for families.
An exciting part of this program is, parents and carers have a supported pathway to employment within HIPPY to foster their skills, knowledge and be supported to reach their aspirations.
