Pregnancy & Home Visiting Services
Pregnancy & Home Visiting Services
YDI’s Pregnancy and Home Visiting program promotes healthy pregnancies, strong parent-child bonds, and successful early learning experiences, helping to lay the foundation for lifelong success.
We recognize that parents and caregivers are a child’s first and most important teachers. Our services are designed to strengthen parent-child relationships and equip families with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to support their child’s growth from pregnancy through early childhood.
Our Prenatal Program provides education, resources, and compassionate support to pregnant individuals and their families. We work in partnership with expectant families to promote healthy prenatal outcomes, early bonding, and school readiness.
The Home Visiting program is dedicated to empowering families through personalized, in-home support. In addition to one-on-one home visits, families are invited to attend monthly group socialization events, which provide opportunities to connect with other parents and children in the community. Socialization events feature hands-on educational activities, group learning opportunities, and practical information on topics relevant to family engagement, child health, and nutrition.
Our compassionate and highly trained Home Visitors provide free, individualized child development education tailored to the unique needs, culture, and goals of each family. During regularly scheduled visits conducted in the comfort and convenience of a family’s home or another safe, mutually agreed-upon location, families receive:
