Pregnant women and families — particularly those considered at-risk — in the Yellowhammer State will continue to reap the benefits of a federal program that provides necessary resources and skills to raise children who are physically, socially, and emotionally healthy and ready to learn, thanks to a newly awarded grant.
The State of Alabama was awarded a $6,593,481 federal grant this month to continue to provide voluntary, evidence-based Home Visiting services through the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program.
The MIECHV program funds scheduled visits by nurses and other health workers to help at-risk new parents and families with health, education, and parenting problems.  The visits have been tied to improved academic outcomes for children, better economic opportunities for families, as well as a decline in child abuse.

Ahrough its First Teacher Home Visiting program, the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education allocates MIECHV funding to eligible Home Visiting programs that provide support to parents with young children up to kindergarten entry.

Currently, MIECHV supports Home Visiting services for more than 1,500 families in 43 counties across the state. These families are enrolled in one of three early learning Home Visiting programs, Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY), Parents as Teachers or Nurse Family Partnership.

“Home Visiting programs have played an essential role in helping families across the state learn how to be more engaged in their child’s life during their child’s critical early years,” said Jeana Ross, the secretary of the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education. “This grant will help ensure that more Alabama families will be able to receive developmentally appropriate resources and support in their own homes to help them provide more early learning opportunities for their children.”

  1. Lodges assign their rooms on the idea of rate, that means that
    the more you pay, the better of a room you’re going to get.
    If you booked with an intermediary, your room shall be
    assigned last, normally to a low or un-renovated
    flooring. In addition, when accommodations need to stability their inventory, they
    provide complimentary upgrades to certain reservations, that are
    also determined on the premise of what rate you have paid.

  3. To close on the final level, you’ll most frequently not
    get any of the perks that are included in a stay at a hotel.
    Precedence is given to friends that pay a better fee, and perks
    which can be in restricted provide (concierge service, transport to/from
    airport, room upgrades, entry to business
    centers) will not be prolonged to friends paying by a web-based middleman. It does not sound
    very reasonable, but when a hotel has a restricted provide of such
    companies, they’ll prioritize them in keeping with rate, and because the resort only
    will get 50-70% of what you paid, you will be far down the
    precedence line.
