- HIPPY (Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youngsters)
- Home-based, family-focused program that helps parents provide educational enrichment for their preschool child. Program is quite new in B.C. In 2003, Vancouver-area consortium of the Katzie, Musqueam, Sechelt, Tsawwassen, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations piloted first-ever on-reserve HIPPY with six Home Visitors, who worked with 79 families. HIPPY Victoria started in October 2002 at Hulitan Social Services in the downtown area in partnership with the Victoria Native Friendship Centre and the Ministry of Children and Family Development. A new HIPPY (2004) is being set up with the Heiltsuk in Bella Bella. The web site is very detailed and will answer most of your initial questions about the program, or contact the coordinator.

- Home Portage Model (The Portage Project)
- Designed for families with children 0–6 who may be at risk for developmental delays. Four principles shape the model: intervention is guided by the family, parent-child interactions are the heart of the intervention process, family rituals, daily routines, and play reflect the patterns of family life and are where intervention takes place, recorded ongoing observations and conversations with parents are the basis for intervention decisions. The BC-ACCS library has the Portage Guide to Early Education (development checklists, activity cards and guidelines for use), Portage Classroom Curriculum (curriculum plans, family activity letters, and suggested home-based activities), and the Growing: Birth to Three series (Development Guide, Interactions and Daily Routines booklet, two nurturing journals, and suggestions for building relationships with parents and caregivers). Most recent versions of Portage materials can be purchased from The Portage Project.
