P.A.T. is a free home visitation program for families with children aged birth through five years of age.

The goals of P.A.T. are:

  • Give the child a solid foundation for school success
  • Increase parents' competence and confidence in giving the child the best possible start in life
  • Increase parents' knowledge of child development and appropriate ways to stimulate learning
  • Promote a strong parent-child relationship
  • Develop a true partnership between parents and school
  • Provide a means for early detection of potential learning problems.
  • Prevent and reduce child abuse and neglect.

P.A.T. achieves this by:

  • Understanding that children are born to learn
  • Knowing that children learn the most from people they love, their parents
  • Believing that parents are the experts concerning their own children
  • Believing all parents deserve support in their parenting role
  • Valuing diversity and cultural difference
  • Understanding that all families have strengths, and all parents want to be successful
  • Developing a support program designed to increase a family's ability to cope rather than provide a system upon which the family becomes dependent.

Parent as Teacher program goals are met through:

  • Personal visits
  • Group meetings
  • Screening
  • Resource network
