Indigenous HIPPY
Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters
Helping build strong and vibrant Indigenous Nations by strengthening Indigenous communities, family by family.
Indigenous HIPPY works with Indigenous families and communities to build positive experiences in education and to strengthen their capacity to support learning. The program serves land-based and urban Indigenous families across the country, particularly those impacted by the legacy of residential schools, poverty, parents’ limited education, and social isolation.
Since 2002, Indigenous HIPPY in Canada has had great success in Indigenous Nations and communities, utilizing a culturally relevant curriculum to maximize the educational and holistic potential of Indigenous children.
The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) recognizes Indigenous HIPPY’s role in revitalizing traditional parent and caregiver roles as their child’s first and best teacher and in ensuring the success of Indigenous teachings to the next generation.
