Parents As Teachers

This free early childhood program empowers parents to give their child age prenatal - 3 the best possible start in life.  A
certified parent educator visits families monthly in their home to focus on the typical development of each child.  Age-appropriate activities, language, bonding, and motor, emotional and social development are discussed in each visit. 
PAT educators involve parents and children in a new activity each visit that stimulates learning and growth.  Each
activity is specifically planned for the child’s age.  Handouts about the activity and other ways to encourage the child’s development are provided. 
 
Educators discuss concerns and answer questions in a supportive and empowering relationship with the parents.  They also help connect parents to other community resources.

Play to Learn Groups

Learning through play, children interact with other children and their parents in weekly, one-hour groups at Smart Start playrooms.  Play groups build social, physical, emotional and intellectual skills that help prepare children for school.  Activities and information target all aspects of child development. An annual enrollment fee of $20 is charged for Iredell County residents and $40 for out-of-county residents.  Play groups are available in Statesville and Mooresville.
