Letter from Chair and President
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to share the Parents as Teachers National Center’s 2023 annual report. In so many ways, 2023 was an exceptional year for us. We took important measures to ensure continuous improvements in our work as we partner with parents on their journey to raise healthy and successful children.
This new year marks the 40th anniversary of Parents as Teachers. From a modest beginning in the early 80’s in Missouri, Parents as Teachers has grown to provide services that reach more than 180,000 families annually through a network of more than 1,000 family-serving organizations including those who utilize our research-informed curricula across the U.S. and worldwide.
Your continued support has made a real difference for Parents as Teachers and for our ability to positively impact the lives of the families, children, and communities where we serve. This past year has been an exciting one of growth and innovation.
