What is Parents as Teachers?

Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a parent education and family support program serving families throughout pregnancy until their child enters kindergarten, usually age 5.

Why Join?
  As a parent, you are your child’s first teacher and your home is your child’s first classroom.  Your baby begins learning at birth. Brain growth and development happens more rapidly during the first five years of life than at any other time.


    Parents are supported by PAT-certified parent educators trained to translate scientific information on early brain development into specific when, what, how and why advice for families. By understanding what to expect during each stage of development, parents can easily capture the teachable moments in everyday life to enhance their child's language development, intellectual growth, social development and motor skills.
