Dickinson Center
St. Mary's Children's Programs - Parents As Teachers (PAT)
Parents As Teachers is an early childhood parent education and family support program.

The program model consists of four components: (1) Personal visits offer parents age-appropriate child development information, help them to observe their child, address parenting concerns and engage the family in activities that provide meaningful parent-child interaction. (2) Group meetings provide opportunities for families to share information about parenting issues and observe their children in a social setting. (3) Screenings are conducted to provide early identification of developmental delays and health, vision, and hearing problems and increase parents' understanding of their child's development. (4) A resource network helps families identify and connect with needed resources, and overcome barriers to accessing services.
