Francis Howell's Parents As Teachers
program offers you the following services...
HOME VISITS
Personalized home visits with a Parent Educator trained
in child development are provided to help you give your child a great
beginning. Parents value this resource for the information provided on
activities that encourage their child’s development and for the
opportunity to observe and discuss their child’s development.
PARENT MEETINGS
Parent meetings provide parents an opportunity to gain
developmental information about their child and discuss development with
other parents who have children the same age. The meetings also allow
parents to socialize with other parents in their school district.
SCREENINGS
Screenings in overall development, language, hearing and
vision are available through the home visit. The goal of the screenings
is to provide parents with information on the individual growth of their
child and the early detection of potential problems that may affect
later learning.
REFERRAL RESOURCES
Resources are available to assist families in finding
additional services when indicated through screening and requested by
the parent.
 Research has
shown that children whose parents were involved in PAT. . .
Were significantly advanced over their peers in
language, social development, problem solving and intellectual
abilities.
Scored significantly higher on standardized measures of
reading and math achievement than did comparison children.
PAT is a partnership between the home, the school, and
the community to give all children the best possible start in life.
The services are FREE to Francis Howell residents
There are services for you and your child from birth to
school entry.
