Cache County Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV)

The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program is designed to empower families from pregnancy through kindergarten age with the Parents as Teachers curriculum. This evidence-based, no-cost home visiting program is dedicated to offering holistic support to families with young children.
