Mission

Parents as Teachers is an early childhood education program developed by the Parents as Teacher's National Center in St. Louis, MO which supports parents in their role as their child's first and most influential teachers.  It is one of our parenting education programs associated with the Even Start Family Literacy Program.

As a parent, you are your child's first and most important teacher.  You begin teaching your baby during your pregnancy - through touch, and your voice.  From the start, parents shape their child's future by providing a variety of experiences.  Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a family education and support program that begins prenatally and extends to age 5.

In PAT, you are supported by certified parent educators who use the Born to Learn Curriculum that translates scientific information on early brain development into concrete suggestions on ways to teach and nurture your child.

Eligibility: Universal access - Any family in Latah County with at least 1 child: prenatal to age five.
