Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a valuable program offered by Root for Kids that provides guidance and support to parents in their role as their child's first and most important teacher. Through personalized home visits, parent-child activities, and group meetings, PAT equips families with knowledge and resources to promote early childhood development and school readiness. Trained parent educators collaborate with families to strengthen parenting skills, enhance parent-child interactions, and provide information on child development milestones. PAT also offers screenings to identify potential developmental delays and connects families with community resources as needed. By empowering parents with the tools and confidence to support their child's learning and growth, Parents as Teachers at Root for Kids play a vital role in building strong foundations for children's success.
