About Home Visiting
What is home visiting
Home visiting is a prevention strategy designed to:
- support pregnant families
- promote infant and child health
- foster child development and school readiness
- help prevent child abuse and neglect.
Home visiting programs are voluntary and offer vital support to parents as they manage the challenges of raising babies and young children.
Colorado’s home visiting models are rigorously evaluated and proven to work. Learn more about these evidence-based approaches.

Visits focus on:
- linking pregnant families with prenatal care
- promoting strong parent-child attachment

- supporting parents’ role as their child’s first and most important teacher
- connecting families to community resources.
