Parents as Teachers/Birth to Five
Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a voluntary early childhood parent education program based on the philosophy that parents are their children's first and most influential teachers.
- Personal Visits- personalized home visits by certified parent educators, who are trained in child development, help parents understand what to expect in each stage of their child's development.
- Group Meetings- parents get together to gain new insights and to share their experiences, common concerns, and successes.
- Screening- periodic screening of overall development, language, hearing, and vision. Thegoal is to provide early detection of potential problems to prevent difficulties later in school.
- Resource Network- linkage with providers of needed services that are beyond the scope of the program.
We invite you to be a part of the Parents as Teachers Program here at West Market School of Early Education - 1909 Dobbins Bridge Road-Anderson, South Carolina 29626.
