Update Activity Go Bags for Home Visits
Through Cope’s Parents as Teachers program, Home Visitors meet with families with young children to help them foster their child’s development. One of the tools they use are activity “go-bags.” These are small activities made of household items that help children practice developmentally appropriate skills. By helping to create and update these you are helping the home visitors be more efficient and better serve families.
