About Parents as Teachers

Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a relationship-based home visiting program that serves families prenatally and with children through kindergarten. These home visits are conducted by trained professionals known as Parent Educators. Parent Educators partner with families to focus on parenting and family well-being. They also provide parents with the knowledge and skills to promote their child’s early development, learning, and health. Through these supports, PAT increases school readiness and success among children and their families enrolled in PAT programs.
