Home Visitation

Home visitation is a chance to form a warm, caring bond with a professional who can help with your concerns as a parent or parent-to-be in the privacy of your home. Our trained home visitors have extensive knowledge of the issues encountered by today’s parents and are sensitive to the unique challenges facing military families.

What If We're Not New Parents?

The NPSP is not just for new parents. Even if you’ve been raising your family for a few years, new ages and stages bring different challenges. We offer families the opportunity to express their concerns and ask questions about babies, young children and family relationships.

What If This Isn't Our First Baby?

Often adding a brother or sister to the family presents a real change in the family. Demands on family time are different with more than one child in the house. This program helps develop support networks and answer questions while the family experiences these changes.

 

CLASSES

Baby Boot Camp is a class that provides information on labor & delivery, postpartum, breast-feeding, bottle feeding, and safety. The class emphasizes the father’s involvement and includes interactive demonstrations of basic infant care, such as bathing, diapering, and soothing a crying baby. This class is provided to expectant parents (both couples & singles). Participants must register prior to attending the class by calling the NPSP Office. Please note that registration deadlines are seven days before each class. 
Military Moms & Munchkins (MM&M’s) Play Corner is a monthly playgroup that allows parents of children ages 0-5 to receive education and support in parent-child interactions. NPSP staff are available on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 11am to 12pm at the Shadow Mountain Indoor Playground, Bldg. 692, with educational information and activities.
