The Enhanced Home Visiting Project (EHVP) provides Early Head Start
programs a unique opportunity to carefully assess and address the
needs of "kith and kin" caregivers who provide services for children
enrolled in Early Head Start. The participating programs will develop
and implement enhanced home visiting models which recognize that,
when a caregiver of an Early Head Start child is not the child's
parent, it is important that the caregiver has the knowledge, training
and skills necessary to help the child develop to his or her highest
potential, including the development of such important skills as
language, reasoning, and problem solving.
"Kith and kin child care is care provided by family (kin) and friends
and neighbors (kith)." (Bank
Street College of Education website, Frequently Asked Questions)
Early Head Start and Migrant Head Start Infant/Toddler programs
serving children in a home-based option where the child's parents
are working and the child is in the care of a relative or neighbor
were invited to apply for funding to develop and implement an enhanced
home visiting program to serve children in "kith and kin" settings.
Twenty-four programs successfully competed to participate in the
three-year project.
