Enabling Families to Inspire a Passion for Learning in Their Children
We Believe in Equal Possibilities from the Start for Every Child in Medina County
Live Inspired, in partnership with ParentChild+, strives to eliminate educational disadvantages for under-resourced families in Medina County, Ohio. We work with families of 2 to 4-year-olds, providing parents with skills and materials to prepare their children for school and life success through our proven early literacy program.

Our Program
Serving Medina County Families Since 2015
Early Learning Specialists
Our trained Home Visitors build meaningful relationships with Medina County families through consistent, twice-weekly visits. Each Home Visitor receives comprehensive training from our certified program coordinator to effectively mentor parents in creating language-rich home environments. What sets our Home Visitors apart is their commitment to providing 92 personal visits with each family, totaling 46+ hours of dedicated support. They implement an evidence-based curriculum following the nationally recognized ParentChild+ model, receive specialized training in early childhood development and effective parent coaching techniques, and maintain deep connections with the Medina County community and its diverse neighborhoods.
60+ Free Educational Books and Toys
Each week, our Home Visitors bring a gift of a new high-quality book or educational toy, along with a curriculum guide sheet for each family. These carefully selected materials become permanent additions to the family’s home library and learning resources. Our educational materials help families build essential vocabulary through engaging activities, develop meaningful parent-child conversations, strengthen age-appropriate cognitive and motor skills, foster social-emotional development critical for school success, and share the joy of learning through words, stories, and play.
Parent = First Teacher
Our program provides each parent with the support to take on the role of their child’s first, best teacher. This bond is critical to school preparedness, and the benefits last throughout a child’s educational journey. Our approach empowers parents by building confidence in their teaching abilities, creating sustainable daily learning routines, establishing foundations for lifelong learning habits, and connecting families with additional Medina County resources.
Impact in Medina County
Crucial Program at a Critical Time
Children have only 1,800 days from birth to the start of kindergarten. Each of these days is critical to their school readiness and success.
Too many children in Medina County fall behind before they even set foot in a classroom, and they struggle to catch up. Our certified Early Learning Specialists intervene during this critical developmental window to change their trajectory.
We intervene. We interject. We object to the secondary life path that these children are on. We see a different path. We help families find the path, set off upon it and succeed together.

“Live Inspired is truly the best program…the thoughtful, endless hours of planning and preparation to ensure our little children are loved, cared for, and prepared for school is something I can’t explain or put into words.”
“Everything you do with your child can turn into a learning moment.”
