Summary

The Parent-Child Home Program is a low-cost pre-preschool intervention to help parents prepare their toddlers for school. Over four decades of experimental research have supported the program's hypothesis that children's best preparation for school is their early participation in cheerful, casual exchanges of concept-building play and conversation with their parents at home. The Parent-Child Home Program is a social program aimed at ameliorating many of the challenges of a low-income environment. In this updated new edition, Phyllis Levenstein's daughter, Susan, continues her mother's labor of love, confirming the fact that with a solid theoretical base, elbow grease, and perseverance it is possible to carry a good idea a good long way.
