Parents as Teachers Program

Thought I would make a quick post on our Parents as Teachers (PAT) program. As many of you know, I am a new parent. As new parents, Ashley and I have many questions about raising our son. "Is it normal when......" or "When should he be________(fill in the blank)", are typical questions parents pose when raising a child. Last week, Peggy Swaney (Parent Educator) visited our family on an official PAT visit. It is validating to meet with someone who has so much experience in working with a wide range of abilities. Peggy and the rest of the PAT staff are able to assist in answering the many questions that inevitably arise. Additionally, they provide literature that identifies benchmarks, nutritional information and opportunities for cooperative play. What a great program!.....and it's FREE! I am proud to say it is ours. If you are interested in knowing more about Parents as Teachers, contact Dr. Hughes at the District Education Center.

Educationally Yours,
