Parents as Teachers
Parents as Teachers is a partnership program that supports parents in their role as their child’s first and most influential teacher. Children learn more during their early years of life than at any other point in their lives in or outside of school. The Parents as Teachers research-based curriculum is used to educate parents about child development and parenting issues.
All services are FREE of charge to all Fox C6 School District residents with children from prenatal to kindergarten entry.
Parents as TEachers currently has a wait list. However, please complete the enrollment form as soon as possible. When available, we will contact you to match your family with a parent educator. By enrolling now, you will also receive the Parents as Teachers newsletter and an invitation to fun events for the whole family.
