About ParentChild+

Families enrolled in ParentChild+ can expect:
- Visits with an Early Learning Specialist twice per week. Visits are 30 minutes each, take place in the home, and are scheduled at a time that is convenient for the family.
- Families receive free high quality educational books and toys that they keep to help support learning.
