Impact at Every Level
Parents as Teachers operates in local communities across the United States and around the world. With more than 1,000 affiliates using our evidence-based model, we nurture positive change for every child and every family.Our Approach
The Parents as Teachers approach is to partner, facilitate and reflect. These are parallel processes that occur at every level of our organization, from a Parent Educator visiting a family in their home all the way to the work of the National Center.
We Partner With Families To:
- Increase parent knowledge of early childhood development and improve positive parenting practices
- Provide early detection of developmental delays and connection to services
- Prevent child abuse and neglect
- Increase children’s school readiness and success
- Improve parent, child, and family health and well being
- Improve family economic well-being
- Strengthen community capacity and connectedness
- Additionally, we partner with States, Territories and Tribal Entities to develop and implement home visiting programs that improve the health and well-being of families with young children
