PARENTS AS TEACHERS
Parents as Teachers helps young children grow up healthy, safe, and ready to learn.
Parents as Teachers provides the information, support, and encouragement parents need to help their children develop optimally during the crucial early years of life. The program serves Oakland County families with children from birth to kindergarten entry looking to increase parenting skills and child development knowledge.
The in-home program, delivered at no cost to parents, helps children at risk for school failure and/or abuse and neglect by involving families with infants, toddlers and young children in activities that encourage growth in language, social, and emotional development. Parent educators, who make weekly or biweekly visits, conduct child development screenings and may link families with other agencies that provide necessities, such as food and housing. Parents as Teachers also offers monthly playgroups to encourage families to interact and play together.
Parents as Teachers is available through funding from Oakland Schools, the Detroit Auto Dealers Association Charitable Foundation Fund, the Young Foundation, United Way for Southeastern Michigan and The Carls Foundation.
