The Home Based option provides an In Home Family Specialist who goes into the home and works directly with the parent/guardian to plan weekly activities individualized for the child. This option is available in eight counties (Adams, Billings, Bowman, Dunn, Golden Valley, Hettinger, Slope, and Stark). They engage parent’s in their child’s learning and development by providing family-friendly activities in the home to promote and strengthen parent-child interactions.
Socializations are a great way for your child(ren) to interact with others their age and for the adults to communicate as well! It’s a chance to get out of the house, enjoy a snack, play games, sing songs, and of course a little parental education is involved. Sign up with your home visitor (Leigh, Tennille or Kirsten). We hope to see you there!
Dickinson and Hettinger County have Socializations each month. Dickinson Socializations are at 338 SE 1st Street, Dickinson, ND. Hettinger County Socializations are in Rhame at the the Rhame school from September – May.
The Early Head Start program enrolls expectant mothers and provides them with education and resources to prepare for the birth of their infant.
