About Us

Parents are supported by PAT-certified parent educators trained to translate scientific information on early brain development into specific when, what, how and why advice for families. By understanding what to expect during each stage of development, parents can easily capture the teachable moments in everyday life to enhance their child's language development, intellectual growth, social development and motor skills.

 

As a PAT family, you receive:

Personal visits -- during which your parent educator will share age-appropriate child development and parenting information, help you learn to observe your child, and address your parenting concerns. Parent group meetings -- which are opportunities to share information about parenting issues and child development. Parents learn and support each other, observe their children with other children and practice parenting skills. Screenings -- to assess your child's overall development as well as health, hearing and vision. Resource network -- that links your family to other community services.

Love & Logic Parenting

One of the best ways to teach children how to be good decision makers who are prepared for the real world, is to practice Love & Logic parenting. PAT will be sharing Love & Logic information at Playgroups, in the newsletter and on the website. If you want more information, ask your PAT educator for check-out materials.
