Abstract	This study aimed to determine the program satisfaction of Latina mothers who participated in the Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) program in a large, urban area in the Southwest with the purpose of identifying the specific components of HIPPY that Latina mothers feel best supported them in their role as their child's first teacher. In addition, the study examined areas where they were not as satisfied and didn't feel quite as supported. Thirty-seven Latina mothers whose children were in kindergarten and completing their last year in the HIPPY program completed the HIPPY Satisfaction Survey. Mean ratings on the 13 quantitative questions related to satisfaction with the components of the HIPPY program was 8.67, with a range of 1-10. This indicated that, overall, the Latina mothers completing the survey were highly satisfied with the HIPPY program. Analysis of the first open-ended question ("What specific components of the HIPPY program do you think were the most beneficial to you and your child?") resulted in six themes: general comments about HIPPY being helpful, specific components of the HIPPY program, academic benefits for their child, benefits to their child's social development, changes in their parenting, and changes in their relationship to their child. Analysis of the second open-ended question ("What additional information or training do you feel HIPPY could provide to better support you as your child's first teacher?") revealed themes related to being completely satisfied with no suggested improvements to the HIPPY program, academic changes, and more parenting support.
