Program Information
Parents as Teachers may serve families prenatally through kindergarten entry, based on income eligibility. It is designed to support all members of a family who play a role in caregiving for children. Families enrolled in Parents as Teachers may experience outcomes such as:
- Increased knowledge of early child-development
- Early detection of developmental delays and connection to services
- Improved parent, child, and family health and well-being
- Prevention of child abuse and neglect
- Increased school readiness and long-term success
- Improved family economic well-being
- Strengthened community capacity and connectedness
The family’s assigned Parent Educator provides personal visits, health and development screenings, resource referrals, and group connections. Parent Educators are highly trained professionals with expertise in child development who provide personalized guidance, use evidence-based practices, empower parents, and promote children’s growth and development.
All services—including visit frequency—are tailored to each family’s interests, concerns, and circumstances through the Parents as Teachers curriculum.
