Its purpose is to improve home visitors’ and other professionals’ knowledge of the key components of Nurturing Care and strengthen their skills to work with families to enable and empower them to provide the best start to their children. Each of the modules responds to one or more components of Nurturing Care and builds capacity and skills needed by the home visitor to provide supportive home visits. In addition, each module aims to help home visitors reflect on professional attitudes and strengthen practices to engage inclusively and respectfully with diverse families with different needs and challenges.

The training package strengthens home visiting services by equipping practitioners with essential knowledge, practical skills, and adaptable tools to support families from pregnancy through early childhood. It offers structured yet flexible materials, including session plans, slides, and handouts, grounded in nurturing, family‑centered care. Its content integrates programmatic knowledge on child development, health, nutrition, and parental wellbeing with practical competencies like empathetic communication, relationship building, observational assessment, collaborative problem‑solving, and cultural responsiveness. Grounded in adult learning principles, the package promotes reflective practice, peer learning, and behavior change, ultimately strengthening both trainers and home visitors and enhancing the overall quality and effectiveness of home visiting services.
