Parents As Teachers (PAT) is a parent education program that has been adopted in all 50 states, and focuses on helping children learn, grow, and develop to their fullest potential. The program is delivered in the family’s home by trained parent educators, and is based upon an evidenced-based curriculum. PAT has been shown to increase school readiness, and provide support for families as their children develop. The FRN serves families located in the Marshall County area. The only requirement for the program is that families have children five years of age or younger, or are prenatal parents. If your family is interested in the program, please contact the FRN’s PAT parent educators at (304) 845-3300.
