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.
