HIPPY Montréal Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters

Bill and Hillary Clinton Support the HIPPY Model

In the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton has been a major supporter of the HIPPY program. HIPPY has existed and thrived in the Clinton’s home state of Arkansas for over 20 years, in part thanks to support from Hillary Clinton. In his 2007 book GIVING: How each of us can change the world, Bill Clinton writes:

"I wish there were HIPPY programs in every community with a significant number of single mothers or poor, undereducated parents. Anyone who has ever been to a HIPPY graduation ceremony and seen the pride and self-confidence of both parents and children would agree. Even if you are not a parent of a preschool aged child, you can take the lead in bringing HIPPY to your home town, volunteer to be a home visitor, or support them with money or other services."
