P
PARENTS AS TEACHERS (PAT) – PAT is a program for families who have children between birth and 5 years of age (prior to
starting Kindergarten). PAT is based on two concepts: 1) parents are their child’s first and most influential teacher. 2) Experiences in
the first years of a child’s life are key to future success in school. Services offered: personal visits (by certified educations, trained in
child development, help parents understand each stage of the child’s development and offer practical tips on ways to encourage
learning); group meetings (these programs allow parents to get together, share common concerns and gain new insights); referral
network (PAT helps families link with extra services, if needed and wanted, that go beyond the scope of the program); screenings
(periodic screening checks overall development, language, hearing and vision. Early detection of potential problems prevents later
difficulties in school).
Not all school districts in Missouri have this program. Parents need to contact their local school district to see if this program is
provided.

child development, help parents understand each stage of the child’s development and offer practical tips on ways to encourage
learning); group meetings (these programs allow parents to get together, share common concerns and gain new insights); referral
network (PAT helps families link with extra services, if needed and wanted, that go beyond the scope of the program); screenings
(periodic screening checks overall development, language, hearing and vision. Early detection of potential problems prevents later
difficulties in school).

educations, trained in child development, help parents understand each stage of the child’s development and offer practical tips on

child development, help parents understand each stage of the child’s development and offer practical tips on ways to encourage
learning); group meetings (these programs allow parents to get together, share common concerns and gain new insights); referral

difficulties in school).

child development, help parents understand each stage of the child’s development and offer practical tips on ways to encourage
learning); group meetings (these programs allow parents to get together, share common concerns and gain new insights); referral

PARENTS AS TEACHERS (PAT) – PAT is a program for families who have children between birth and 5 years of age (prior to
starting Kindergarten). PAT is based on two concepts: 1) parents are their child’s first and most influential teacher. 2) Experiences in
the first years of a child’s life are key to future success in school. Services offered: personal visits (by certified educations, trained in
child development, help parents understand each stage of the child’s development and offer practical tips on ways to encourage
learning); group meetings (these programs allow parents to get together, share common concerns and gain new insights); referral
network (PAT helps families link with extra services, if needed and wanted, that go beyond the scope of the program); screenings
(periodic screening checks overall development, language, hearing and vision. Early detection of potential problems prevents later
difficulties in school).
Not all school districts in Missouri have this program. Parents need to contact their local school district to see if this program is
provided.
