AS A PARENT, YOU ARE YOUR CHILD'S FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT TEACHER!

Our Vision

our values

*The early years of a child's life are critical for optimal development and provide the foundation for success in school and in life.

*Parents are their children's first and most influential teachers.

*Established and emerging research should be the foundation of parent education and family support curricula, training, materials and services.

*All young children and their families deserve the same opportunities to succeed, regardless of any demographic, geographic or economic considerations.

*An understanding and appreciation of the history and traditions of diverse cultures is essential in serving families.



Parents as Teachers (PAT) gives parents knowledge in language development, intellectual growth, motor skills, and the parent-child relationship. 

When enrolled in Otterville Parents as Teachers, families with children birth to Kindergarten will receive certified parent educator home visits with a parent-child activity, health screenings, and developmental screenings.

 In addition to home visits, there will be Group Connections throughout the year.  This is where families can come learn about child development, meet other families and enjoy participating in activities with their children.

If you have a child between birth and Kindergarten, and would like to become involved with PAT, please call me at 660-366-4621 or my cell 660-473-6884.
