Is a home-based early education programme working in 40 communities around New Zealand. HIPPY serves families from a wide range of ethnic and geographic groups across the country, particularly focusing on those most at risk because of poverty, limited education and social isolation.

HIPPY helps parents build confidence and skills to create a positive learning environment to prepare their child for school.

The programme works with parents of 3-6 year-old children who live in low socio-economic areas and have low incomes.

Parents are actively supported through Home Visits and Group Meetings, where they connect with other parents.

Each HIPPY site is led by a qualified, professional coordinator working with para-professional tutors.
