Parents as Teachers©

Parenting is both challenging and rewarding. Parents are their children's first teachers. Research has shown that the early years of a child's life are critical for optimal development and provide the foundation for success in school and life.

The core values of Parents as Teachers© are that all young children and their families deserve the same opportunities to succeed, regardless of any demographic, geographic, or economic considerations with an understanding and appreciation of the history and traditions of diverse cultures being essential in serving families.

Through home visitation, parents and educators focus on parent-child interaction, development-centered parenting, and family well-being. If you are pregnant, have a child newborn to 5 years old and want to learn more about your child's development, you are eligible to be a part of
Parents as Teachers.    

Together on each visit, we'll:

• Look at your child's development and talk about the parenting challenges     you face right now.
• 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. 

Parents as Teachers children are healthy, safe and ready to learn: They're healthier. They score higher on kindergarten readiness tests. They're better problem solvers. They're more advanced in language and social development.
