Heidi - LethbridgeMy name is Heidi and I have loved the opportunity that I have had to provide support to children and their families both in the home, school and community settings. I have four children of my own and I therefore recognize the importance of having support and encouragement in raising a family. We have heard the phrase “It takes a village to raise a child”. I believe this to be true. Being a part of Parents as Teachers gives me the opportunity to share valuable information, discuss things that parents might find challenging and support and encourage parents in their parenting journey.
Parents are a child’s first and most influential teacher. Our hope is to partner and support families so each child will learn, grow and develop to realize their full potential. |

Lorry - LethbridgeHi! My name is Lorry. I am a wife and mother, first and foremost. I am excited to be part of the Parents as Teachers providing support, information and resources for families in Lethbridge.
I wish that I had known about Parents as Teachers when I began my family. To have had the support and resources that PAT brings would have made parenting so much more enjoyable. All the feelings of inadequacy dispelled by simply having the information I needed to be the best mom I could be. Understanding child development ("is that normal?"), brain development ("what can I do to help?"), temperament ("why does he do that?") and family wellness ("where do I get help with that?") . Every parent loves their child and wants to do his/her best as a parent. I am honored to be able to partner with you as you parent." |
Kristin - Lethbridge
Hi, my name is Kristin and I’m excited to be part of the Parents as Teachers program! Working with children and families has always been my passion. Since 2005, I’ve worked in the early childhood sector in a variety of roles, including as a Day Home Provider while raising my own 3 children.
The saying "Knowledge is Power" is true, especially when it comes to childhood development. I wish I had known about this program when my children were young, as the support, knowledge and resources it provides would have made many things about parenthood that much more manageable. I’m honored to serve in the role of Parent Educator with Parents as Teachers and to be a support for families during those important early years in a child’s life.

Simone - Bow Island and areaHi there! My name is Simone and I am so pleased to be serving the Burdett, Bow Island, and Foremost area as a Home Visitor with the South Region Parents as Teachers. I am a wife and mom to 2 wonderful kids and have enjoyed past careers in rehabilitation and home education. I also have a long-held fascination in human development and learning processes.
The art of parenting is full of beautiful opposing truths. By appearances it should be simple yet in practice we know it to be quite complex. It is where both the mundane and magical work happen, sometimes in the same moment. And as we look at our kids, it is a unique paradox to know we are naturally the best ones for the job, yet we can feel so unequipped at the same time. It is my honor to come along side you with support, resources, and encouragement to help you in the everyday challenges of bringing up your unique and beautiful children! |

Being a parent is one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences. I’m excited to provide families with resources for their questions and to empower parents with knowledge. I look forward to celebrating successes and problem-solving challenges through your parenting journey. |
