Our Vision

All children will learn, grow and develop to realize their full potential.

Our Mission

To provide the information, support and encouragement parents need to help their children develop optimally during the crucial early years of life.

Our Values

The early years of a child's life are critical for optimal development and provide the foundation for success in school and in life.

Parents are their children's first and most influential teachers.

Established and emerging research should be the foundation of parent education and family support curricula, training, materials and services.

All young children and their families deserve the same opportunities to succeed, regardless of any demographic, geographic or economic considerations.

An understanding and appreciation of the history and traditions of diverse cultures is essential in serving families.

(P)arents (A)s (T)eachers Purpose and Philosophy:

P.A.T. is based on two important concepts:

*Parents are their childs' first and most influential teachers.

*Experiences in the first years of a child's life are key to future success in 

 school and in life.

Parent Educators are available to 

support you in being the best parent you can be by partnering, facilitating and reflecting 

with you and your family.
