Parents As Teachers

  •  
    Parents as Teachers is a home-school-community partnership that supports parents in their role as their child's first and most influential teachers. What began with four pilot sites in 1981 was implemented statewide with the passage of the Early Childhood Development Act of 1984. This bill mandated that every school district provide parent education and screening services to families with children ages birth to five.
     
     
     In 2016 -2017:
    • 995 families and 1,395 children received parent education services through home visits
