PITC Approach to Home Visiting

The PITC Philosophy

The Program for Infant Toddler Care (PITC) seeks to ensure that America's infants get a safe, healthy, emotionally secure and intellectually rich start in life.

We strive to strengthen the practice of responsive, respectful, and relationship-based care, helping support families to get in tune with their infant’s needs, thoughts, and feelings.
