HIPPY makes lasting change for children and families
Research points conclusively to the importance of the early years in shaping and influencing lifelong outcomes and development. The most powerful learning comes from a children’s family. By building parents’ skills and confidence to take responsibility for their children’s learning, HIPPY creates significant, lasting impacts on children’s learning and development, that will be felt throughout their lives.
As part of its commitment to continuous improvement, HIPPY Australia conducts regular research and program evaluation. Program evaluation and research contribute to the development of expertise related to working with families, as well as to knowledge about outcomes, impact, continuous learning and sustainable solutions to social issues.
