Home visits through Parents as Teachers in Maricopa County
Our Parents as Teachers program is an internationally recognized, strengths-based and evidence-based parenting education and support program. A trained Parent Educator comes to your home to give you one-on-one support tailored to your child’s age and your family’s needs. This program supports families from pregnancy until your child starts kindergarten.
Core Services:
- Personalized Home Visits – Our Parent Educators provide age-appropriate child development information, support a safe and healthy environment, establish and assess measurable goals, and facilitate interaction between parents and children as a positive parenting teaching tool.
- Group Connections – We provide opportunities for families to connect with other parents, gain support, share information, and allow children to interact and socialize with their peers.
- Screenings – We screen for early identification of developmental delays, health, vision and hearing problems. These screenings also include Family Strengths Assessments and Goal Planning.
- Networking – Our Parent Educators help families identify and connect with needed resources to ensure that families receive comprehensive services.
