Home-Start Czech Republic (HOST) was founded in Prague in 2003 and gradually expanded its activities to four additional regions: Brno, Ostrava, Hradec Králové, and the Central Bohemian Region. The organisation focuses on supporting socially excluded families with children up to 8 years old, with the aim of:

• Addressing complex family situations
• Preventing family separation
• Providing support

HOST is accredited for child protection and has developed the “Family by Play” technique, which is designed to enhance parent-child relationships through play. Childhood doesn’t wait.
