Parenting Support
Parenting Support
Parents are supported by Parent as Teachers!
Certified parent educators are 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.
Parent as Teachers' families receive support in the following ways:
- Personal visits during which your parent educator will share age-appropriate child development and parenting information, help you learn to observe your child, and address your parent concerns.
- Parent group meetings which are opportunities to share information about parenting issues and child development. Parents can learn and support each other, observe their children with other children, and practice parenting skills.
- Screenings to assess your child's overall development as well as health, hearing, and vision.
- Resource network that links your family to other community services.
