Home-Visiting Model Sets Children and Families up for Success in Preschool and Beyond!

By working directly with families, Families First in Cabarrus County strengthens bonds, provides personalized support, and empowers parents as their child’s first and most important teacher.

Together, we are building a foundation for lifelong learning.

ParentChild+ (PC+) shares our vision that early childhood and family support must be about both lifelong health, readiness to succeed in school, and breaking cycles of poverty.

Families First offers PC+ in English and Spanish. The model is a proven home-visiting program focused on early childhood literacy, school readiness, and socio-emotional development.

• Trained Early Learning Specialists (ELSs) visit families twice weekly over a 2-year period while their child is age 2-4.
• ELSs model quality parent-child interactions, introduce play activities, and connect families to community resources.
• Families also receive a free book or educational toy and support weekly, building a library of high-quality books and educational toys across a total of 92 visits.
