Neighborhood Networks
Neighborhood Networks (NN) collaborates with schools and partners with families to strengthen parenting skills, promote healthy child development, and create supportive, nurturing environments for children.
NN partners with Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) and Head Start to support families in participating schools within our region.
Support for You and Your Family
Parents participate in regular home visits where NN partners with your child’s school to help families thrive and succeed through:
- Connecting you with community resources such as education, medical, financial, and transportation that can strengthen and support families.
- Helping you identify and reach your goals.
- Helping your family develop ways to deal with challenges.
- Supporting you on your parenting journey.
- Providing one point of contact for various groups who may be working with your family.
Participation in the Program
Neighborhood Networks is a voluntary home visitation program. Families are nominated to the program by preschool and elementary school partners within Fairfax County. Talk to your school social worker.
Neighborhood Networks supported a grieving family after mom and dad passed away after a tragic domestic violence incident. The couple had a young child and an adult child. Extended family came together to support the children and help them through their grief process. A maternal aunt and uncle took custody of the young child and embarked on a journey to emotionally and physically support him.
