The Cost of Not Measuring

 

Without parenting assessment, you’re working in the dark. Funders increasingly demand evidence of outcomes. Programs using KIPS can:

  • Demonstrate statistically significant family improvements
  • Guide targeted interventions based on specific needs
  • Reduce staff time with streamlined digital tools
  • Win competitive funding with proven outcome data

As an evaluation tool, KIPS allows us to measure parent-child interactions over time. With coaching and support, many families demonstrate improvement across all areas of the tool.  It is rewarding to see the growth! The home visitors report that KIPS is one of the most meaningful evaluation activities they do with parents. They enjoy making regular videos of the parents playing with their children. When they review the videos together, they are able to provide supportive feedback to the parents and help them build on their strengths.
