Why It Works

"Every before and after story we hear from parents and teachers are added benefits — ‘before home visits my kids hated school, now my kid loves it!’”
What They’re Saying about HOME WORKS!
“I received a new student in my classroom in the middle of the school year who was unfamiliar with home visits. It was clear that he was trying to adjust to our school environment, make friends, and be a successful learner. After our home visit, he has come into school every day with a huge smile on his face ready to learn. It was clear that he felt more comfortable, connected, and at ease after I had met with his family and saw what his life was about outside of school.”
