Parents As Teacher Program

Parents As Teachers

    Participating school districts through SCKESC: Andover, Bluestem, Circle, Clearwater, Conway Springs, Douglass, Goddard and Remington/Whitewater

    Helping Kansas be the Best State in the Nation to Raise Children.

    A Free, Fun, Early-Learning Program

    For ALL Soon-to-be Parents and Parents with Children up to Three Years of Age.

Sponsored by local school districts and the Kansas State Department of Education.

Research shows:

**PAT children outscored their peers on measures of school readiness and later school achievement.

**PAT children were more advanced than other 3 year-olds in language and social development, problem solving, and other intellectual skills.

**PAT children performed better than non-PAT children in elementary school.

**PAT parents took a more active role in their children’s schooling than did non-PAT parents.

What We Do:

    Personalized home visits with a certified Parent Educator, trained in child development, who is eager to help parents give their children the best beginning.

    Group Meetings and Play Groups where families can learn new things about children, parenting and share experiences with other parents.

    Regular Developmental Screenings to detect possible developmental delays, hearing, or vision problems.

    A Resource Network that can help parents find services in their community, if needed, that are beyond what PAT can do.
