Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a free, voluntary family support and education program that empowers parents and caregivers to give their children the best possible start in life. The program is built on the belief that parents are a child’s first and most important teachers, and that the early years are critical to lifelong learning, health, and success.
PAT provides families with the knowledge, resources, and encouragement they need to support their child’s healthy growth and development from prenatal through kindergarten entry.
Program Services
Certified Parent Educators work with families through four key components:
- Personal Home Visits – One-on-one visits that provide guidance on child development, parenting strategies, and school readiness.
