Early childhood home visiting services aim to reach expectant parents or parents of young children ages birth to 5. Home visiting is a strategy to reach parents, particularly those at higher risk to ensure the overall safety and well-being of the entire family. Early childhood home visitors can offer information in the following areas but not limited to parent education, child development, positive parenting practices, school readiness, and community resources to enhance family functioning with the goal to prevent child abuse and neglect. Research shows evidence-based home visiting services has caught the attention of researchers, federal and state government administrators, policymakers, and human service professionals. Even with the magnitude of attention, the U.S. government's financial investment, and the emphasis on reaching and engaging at-risk families, there remains limited research concerning early childhood home visitors' perceptions of their ability to implement strengths-based practices (SBP) and engage families. This study utilizes the generic qualitative research methodology by conducting interviews with 10 early childhood home visitors employed in the Northeast part of the United States. The research question for this study was, "how do early childhood home visitors perceive their ability to implement SBP and engage families?" The research participants were recruited using purposive sampling, and the data collected was analyzed using inductive analysis to identify themes to align with the research question. Findings from the study identified 4 major themes, as follows (a) strengths-based practice approach (b) engagement strategies in home visiting (c) provider-parent shared partnership (d) goal attainment towards empowerment. The literature review confirmed there is limited SBP evaluative research and challenges exist in engaging and sustaining families long term to maximize the benefits of home visiting services. Based on the literature review and this study findings, the following recommendations are made to expand on the research study by replicating with more participants across different home visiting program models. Another recommendation is to focus on obtaining insight from the male early childhood home visitors' experiences serving male caregivers (resident and nonresident members) since they are considered a hard-to-reach population. Lastly, is to conduct a case study design for a more in-depth evaluation of home visitors' ability to use SBP and engage families. Using a case study design would allow to collect and analyze data across multiple points that will increase the validity of the findings.
