Parents as Teachers: Teachers as Supporters
Teachers require so many positive qualities like care, compassion, patience and commitment. Our Parent Educators at Parents As Teachers Program have all these qualities in abundance, plus their professional knowledge, expertise and experiences. We are very proud of serving and supporting families in our community over the last two decades!

Quotes From Our Families
“Vanessa has been a real help for me. It was my first child and I didn’t know what I should do to ensure the proper growing up of my daughter. Vanessa used to meet me monthly and made sure whether my daughter was hitting milestones at the appropriate time. Thanks a lot Vanessa.”
“As a new mom I’ve found the parents as teachers program to be so helpful! With how quickly my baby is changing and developing it’s been hard to keep up and know what new games or activities I can use to support him as he grows. My monthly appointments with Jo have been such positive, supportive times (even virtually!) and always give me enough new ideas to keep my son moving forward through his milestones. I’m so thankful to have Jo guiding me through this incredible time!”
“The targeted assistance by our parent educator has helped us dramatically in assisting our daughters' growth. With so much information and readings out there, we were at a loss as new parents. The monthly conversations with Vanessa have helped us in providing the proper support that our daughters' need at specific stages of lives. There were very useful and fun hints that Vanessa gave us that our daughters enjoyed greatly. Also, the monthly readings that Vanessa provided us make it easy to handle.
Our girls benefited hugely from this program and I am so glad that my friend told me about such a well established program which I have happily recommended to all of my pregnant friends.”
