00:00Perth mother Asma was a teacher before she had children and thought she had lost her passion for education.
00:08That kind of fizzled away and I was kind of doubting myself.
00:12Oh, I don't know if I want to go back to teaching.
00:15This changed when she discovered the Home Interaction Program for parents and youngsters, also known as HIPI.
00:21The National Early Education Program supports families through home visits with trained tutors,
00:27offering learning tools with play-based materials.
00:30Just helping parents to do the job that they do best because parents are the first and most important teachers.
00:36But they often don't have the resources, they think what do I need to do, what can I say to help my child.
00:43Some parents like Asma apply to become mentors through the program, preparing them for further employment.
00:50HIPI is a wonderful program, not only for the child but also for the parents.
00:56It builds bridges between communities.
00:59It was the perfect kind of job for me to ease into the workforce and I'm glad I did.
01:06It largely supports families with English as a second language, no or low income or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
01:13Parents are encouraged to maintain their first language with their children.
01:17Since 2014, Communicare says it's delivered the program to more than 540 families in the Perth suburbs of Gosnells and Armidale.
01:27As well as being financially accessible, parent Rissangi says HIPI offers a sense of community.
01:32I was in a student visa so childcare was very expensive so I was looking for paths where I can socialise my child and where I can get some help.
01:44She says her son was ready for activities and interactions at kindy.
01:48When he comes outside, he speaks English and when he's at home he speaks our English language.
01:54That's a beautiful thing because he's getting ready for school.
01:57Empowering parents and children for their early learning journey and strengthening their bond.
02:02They face it in ol' school.
