Parents as Teachers
Being a parent is hard work. Parents as Teachers helps you better understand your child's development and connects you to the resources you need to make the best choices for your family. Parent educators use an evidence-based curriculum to customize a program that fosters language development, intellectual growth, social development and motor skills.
Parent Educators Provide:
Home Visits to your home to discuss your child's development and address concerns that may come at various stages of your child’s growth. Visits Include:
developing a friendship and trusting connection with your Parent Educator
sharing of age appropriate activities and books for your child(ren)
information about child development to support your family's needs
guidance to access community resources or answers to your questions
Development Screenings are completed periodically by your Parent Educator to identify any delays your child may have with development, and/or concerns with their health, vision, or hearing.
Community Resources are available, and accessible through your Parent Educator, to best support your family, help you find answers for any questions you may have, as well as provide connections to other parents in the community.
How to Enroll: Parent Educators conduct visits in Brooks and surrounding communities. If you are currently expecting a baby or have children 5 years of age or younger, you are eligible to participate. This program is free.
