Worcester Community Action Council’s Home Based program operates a model serving families from pregnancy through infants/toddlers to age three in Southern Worcester County. The focus of the Home Based program is to involve the parent or the primary care giver in the education of their child. Weekly home visits provide the opportunity for parenting support, education as well as community referrals. Early Intervention services are provided when needed.
Parents are considered the primary educator of their children, and therefore are strongly encouraged to become involved by attending parenting workshops, volunteering and becoming members of parent-center committees and policy council.
Socializations are an important component of the Home Based program. Youngsters are provided an opportunity to meet new friends and interact with others their own age. Parents are likewise able to meet other parents of young children.
