Parents as
Teachers Program Achievements Recognized!
Our Parent as
Teachers (PAT) program recently received the esteemed "Model
Fidelity" rating for achieving all goals for this year's program!
Our certified
parent educators help parents understand what to expect at each stage of
their child’s early development and offer practical tips to encourage
learning, manage challenging behaviors, and promote strong parent-child
relationships.
Director of Home
Visitation, Brittany Grooms says "This programs gives
parents--especially those who have a child with a complex health
problem--the knowledge, confidence and insight to support their child's
development. We are so proud to have met our goals this year, in spite of
having extra challenges and adjustments that COVID-19 brought to the
program."
Well done
Brittany, Ebony Brooks and Jisset McCollum! Find out how to sign up
