  In the first few years, children learn more and at a faster pace than at any other time in life.  You help shape your child’s future through the kinds of experiences you provide.  Your baby was born to learn, and as a parent, you are your child’s first and most important teacher.  As a Parents as Teachers (PAT) family, you receive free of charge personal visits, parent workshops and group events, screenings, and referrals to resources.  You and your baby deserve the support Parents as Teachers offers.  Give your child the best possible start in life because your baby was born to learn!
