Home Interaction Programme for Parents and Youngsters (HIPPY)

HIPPY is an educational programme where parents in their homes are helped to teach their three and a half year olds basic reading, math and problem solving skills that will help them to be more prepared for when they start school.

Helping your whanau/family in your own home makes a big difference to how they will learn in school. HIPPY children feel good about themselves and love learning. Click here from more information.

Barnardos offers this service in North Shore City, Auckland.

"If it hadn't been for the help of the Children's Contact Coordinator I'd have walked out. I've stayed with it, and now have a much better relationship with my kids."
