National Home Visiting Week, April 20-24, 2026, celebrates and recognizes home visitors and their positive impact on maternal and child health outcomes. Home visiting connects pregnant and parenting families with young children to trained family support professionals who provide customized coaching and guidance through pregnancy and the early stages of a child’s development. Utilizing a variety of evidence-based models, home visiting supports healthy birth outcomes, increases family self-sufficiency, and helps children enter school fully prepared to succeed. 

Pennsylvania offers a variety of evidence-based home visiting programs designed to support families with young children, promoting health, development, and positive parenting practices. Families interested in home visiting services can find programs through the COMPASS Child Care Search website or by contacting their local Early Learning Resource Center (ELRC). These resources can help families locate available programs in their community and understand eligibility criteria.
