PROGRAM DETAILS
Many milestones happen during a child’s first five years of life: first tooth, first steps, first words, first day of school. Every age brings about new opportunities and new challenges.
Any Baby Can's Healthy and Fair Start (HFS) program partners with parents to set a solid foundation that shapes their child's future. We recognize that a parent is a child’s first and most important teacher. Our team facilitates activities between the parent and child, and offers parents important knowledge about how to form strong bonds with their children.
HFS uses a nationally-recognized model called Parents as Teachers, which focuses on creating stable and safe family environments, addressing developmental delays, increasing school readiness, and encouraging parental involvement in their school and community.
Any Baby Can also works with People’s Community Clinic on a program called Tandem that offers the same curriculum specifically for teen parents served by the Clinic.

WHAT IS A VISIT LIKE?
Our Parent Educators visit families in their homes once or twice each month. Visits have three core components designed to empower the parents in their child’s development.
These activities promote child development, strengthen the parent-child relationship, and clarify developmental expectations. Through each activity, the parent learns something new about their child's cues and temperament, and reasons for their child's behavior. We help parents see the world through the child's eyes, which builds a nurturing relationship.
This is an opportunity for the parents to share their daily successes and challenges on practical parenting issues such as nutrition, safety, routines, sleep and discipline. The Parent Educator is there to listen, validate the parent's need and concerns, and provide tools and information to help parents make good, safe choices.
Sometimes the issues parents face aren’t quite as tangible as helping our kids eat and sleep. Parents have an opportunity to talk with their Parent Educator about how to cope with stress, connect with others, improve the health of the entire family, budget for the future, and so much more. We work alongside parents to meet their goals, whether they are the child’s goals, family goals, or parents’ career and education goals.
