Parents As Teachers Program

Parents As Teachers builds strong communities, thriving families, and children who are healthy, safe, learning, and ready for school. We believe ALL children will develop, learn, and grow to realize their full potential. The Parents As Teachers program values your parenting by recognizing you are your child’s first and best teacher and supports your parenting by offering:

  • Personalized Family Visits (once a month)

  • Group Activities (for parents and children)

  • Developmental Screenings

  • Community Connection and Resources

Partnering with your parent educator, you will learn more about child development, parenting behaviors, protective factors, and family well-being.
