A Newcomer Mother's Journey to Success through the HIPPY Program
G and her daughter joined the HIPPY Program less than a year after arriving in Canada from Turkey. Although G had been confident in English, both she and her daughter needed opportunities to practice the language in everyday contexts. This support was essential not only for adapting more quickly to their new environment, but also for helping her daughter, Y, build the confidence and skills needed for a successful start at Canadian school.
​
As a single mother, G demonstrated remarkable dedication to the program. She actively engaged in the HIPPY activities with Y, consistently practiced the weekly materials, and made a strong commitment to her daughter’s early learning. At the same time, she was focused on improving her own circumstances, diligently seeking employment to provide a better future for her family.
​
Their progress has been truly inspiring. After just five months in the program, Y made significant strides in her language development and received a letter of recognition from her schoolteacher, praising her impressive progress. G’s efforts also paid off – thanks to her hard work, she secured employment in her field marking a major milestone in her settlement journey.
​
This success story highlights the transformative impact of the HIPPY Program in supporting newcomer families as they build a strong foundation in Canada.
