Parents as Teachers

Motor Skills

When babies are born, they start learning how to control their bodies. As they grow into toddlers, it's important for you to give them chances to move around and use their big and small muscles. We partner with you to find fun things to do with your child that gets them moving their body.
 

Language Skills

You are key to your child's speech development so it's important for you to talk to your kids often! Ask them questions, listen to what they have to say, and read to them. All of these things can help your child get better at using language.

Thinking Skills

Playing is a great way for your child to learn important skills that they will use later on in school and life. We partner with you to figure out what your child is interested in and then come up with fun things you can do together that encourages them to get better at thinking and solving problems.

Social Skills

From the time they are born, children need to know that they are loved and safe. We partner with you to help them feel good about themselves and to be kind and respectful to others.

Personal Visits

Parent Educators prepare a plan specifically for you based on your child's stage of development with the goal of promoting strong parent-child relationships and learning opportunities.

In-home visits usually happen 1-2 times a month on a day and time that work best for you. 

Screenings

Periodic screenings identify strengths and abilities as well as any areas of concern that may require a referral for additional services.

Group Events

Families can take advantage of our weekly playgroups, the Parenting Matters Conference and other fun and educational events throughout the year.

Community Resources

Our Parent Educators identify interests and needs and then connect families to resources offered throughout the county including activities, events, services, and much more!

Any family that is expecting a child or has a child under the age of 3 years can participate.

Simply fill out the form to request services and/or more information and we will reach out to you within 7-10 days. One of our Parent Educators will make an appointment to meet with you.

In-home visits usually happen 1-2 times a month. Once you talk with your Parent Educator, you choose a day and time that work best for you and your family.
