Dickinson Center, Inc. | Parents As Teachers (PAT)
Parents As Teachers is an early childhood parent education and family support program serving families until their child enters Kindergarten, usually age 5. The program model consists of four components: Personal visits offer parents age-appropriate child development information, help them to observe their child, address parenting concerns and engage the family in activities that provide meaningful parent-child interaction. Group meetings provide opportunities for families to share information about parenting issues and observe their children in a social setting. Screenings are conducted to provide early identification of developmental delays and health, vision, and hearing problems and increase parents' understanding of their child's development. A resource network helps families identify and connect with needed resources, and overcome barriers to accessing services.
