Early Head Start

The Vander Weele Group is partnering with the City of Phoenix to ensure their Early Head Start home visiting program delivers the highest quality service to families. Our team of highly qualified, inter-rater reliable observers use the Home Visit Rating Scales (HOVRS-3) to assess home visitor performance in areas like parent-child interaction, responsiveness to family needs, and collaborative goal-setting. We provide detailed feedback to each home visitor, supporting continuous improvement and better outcomes for children and families.

Prevention Initiative

The Vander Weele Group's Prevention Initiative Monitoring Program provides compliance oversight for the Early Childhood Block Grant Prevention Initiative. This program--operated by the Illinois State Board of Education's Early Childhood Department--provides intensive, research-based, and comprehensive child development and family support services for expectant parents and families with children from birth to age three. These services help build a strong foundation for learning and prepare children for later school success.
