Series: Survival & Early Childhood - Home Visits: Orientation Lessons

The Survival & Early Childhood Global Resource Curriculum (GRC) contains two Home Visit Orientation lesson plans (2-3 hours’ worth of content) to introduce a new caregiver to Survival & Early Childhood programming. These lessons help caregivers become acquainted with the implementer, understand how home visits and group activities work, learn about the topics that will be covered and understand expectations about participation and interaction with other caregivers and children.

Home Visit lesson plans generally contain learning objectives, a materials list and directions for preparation. Each lesson includes a brief mental and physical health check, reflection time to review the previous lesson, spiritual mentoring, learning activities, developmental activities, learning reflection time, an action plan and/or homework, and a closing prayer.

Note: The language in these lessons primarily references mothers as the caregiver. However, the content applies to any primary caregiver – father, grandmother, guardian, etc. Feel free to tweak the language to fit your context as appropriate.
