Joyce Rodriguez first heard about home visitation when her son Jayden was a baby.<\/p>\n

\u201cI found out through my sister, who saw a flyer at Glendale Community College,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cI thought he\u2019s too little. Why would I put him in that?\u201d<\/p>\n

The home visitation program that her sister was telling Rodriguez about was through Child and Family Resources. <\/a>One of their programs provides a parent coach to meet with families of young children to provide voluntary, no-cost, in-home support to families.<\/p>\n

The First Things First Northwest Maricopa Regional Partnership Council<\/a> funds home visitation, which provides parents with regular in-home visits from a trained parent coach, who provides parenting information, models ways to support healthy development and shares connections to other community resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parent coaches were amazing,\u201d Rodriguez said, describing how her parent coach would come to her home in Wickenburg. Many times she brought unique activities, for example, a fishing activity that used a pretzel rod as a pole and colored cheese fish crackers for matching. \u201cIt was also a fun snack for the kids to eat,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The parent coach also provided a list of community resources that let Rodriguez know about additional activities she could take her son to in the area. At the time, Rodriguez\u2019s husband was traveling frequently for work, and she appreciated the extra support of the home visitation program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to love going to the library to take him to story time,\u201d Rodriguez said.<\/p>\n

When it was time for preschool, the parent coach encouraged Jayden\u2019s enrollment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know the way to go with pre-k,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cShe brought a list of nearby schools that had pre-k and helped me choose the right one.\u201d<\/p>\n

A few years later, Rodriguez had her second child, a daughter, Jayleen. This time around, she signed up for the program immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cJayleen wasn\u2019t talking at the age where she should have been,\u201d Rodriguez said.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez and her parent coach worked with Jayleen using blocks with letters to encourage Jayleen to speak more. Eventually, after a developmental screening, the parent coach referred Rodriguez to Arizona\u2019s Early Intervention Program (AzEIP), which provides early intervention services for children under age 3. Jayleen is now receiving speech therapy.<\/p>\n

Now, 6, Jayden was prepared for success when he started kindergarten and Jayleen at 2 is getting the speech support she needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program helped my son, he\u2019s so smart,\u201d Rodriguez said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
