Parents As Teachers

Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a free, family-focused program that provides support, resources and learning opportunities for families with children from birth to age 5.

Parents are their child’s first and most important teachers, and our goal is to help families feel confident and supported through every stage of early childhood development.

Our program offers:

• Monthly Visits: Connect with a certified parent educator to learn about your child’s growth and development, explore helpful parenting resources and enjoy fun, age-appropriate activities together.
• Group Connections: Enjoy opportunities to connect with other families, participate in engaging activities and make lasting memories with your child.
• Annual Developmental Screenings: Learn more about your child’s developmental progress, celebrate milestones and identify areas where additional support may be helpful.

The first three years of a child’s life are especially important for learning and development. Through personalized support and meaningful family experiences, Parents as Teachers helps build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. You don’t have to navigate parenthood alone. We’re here to support your family every step of the way!
