Description

Offers a Home Visiting program that supports parents as their child's earliest and best teacher and helps children grow, learn, and reach their full potential. Once the child has been referred, the parent will be assigned a Parent Educator. The Parent Educator is a trained professional in child development who will schedule visits that are at a convenient time and place for the family. At those visits, the Parent Educator will bring age-appropriate activities and materials for the parent and child, bring information in response to any questions or needs, provide guidance for challenges such as crying, hitting, sleeping routines, and potty training, conduct developmental screenings and assessments, share what can expected during each stage of development, encourage and support you the parent to become the child's most important teacher, and connect the parent to needed resources and services in the community. Parents as Teachers also offers opportunities to connect with other families. Clients can participate in special groups such as Families in the Kitchen, All About Reading, Let's Paint, and Preschool Prep, as well as, a group through social media called Parents Connect.
