During their first few years, children learn more and at a faster pace than at any other time in life. Your baby was born to learn and, as a parent, you are your child’s first and most important teacher! Parents as Teachers comes alongside to support parents as they shape their children’s future through positive, enriching experiences in early childhood. 

Parents as Teachers (PAT) helps you understand child development and connects you to the resources you need to make the best choices for your family. Parents as Teachers offers free personal visits customized for the needs of your family. Together on each visit, we will:

  • Think about family dynamics impacting your child’s development, your parenting values and decisions. 
  • Build strong protective factors to keep you, your child and your family healthy, strong and resilient. 

Why Parents as Teachers? As a parent, you’ll feel more involved in your child’s education, more connected to your child, and more confident in your role as a parent. Your child will see the benefits, as well – Parents as Teachers children are healthy, safe and ready to learn:
