Our Staff

Hello, my name is Rose. I have been visiting families as a Parents as Teachers parent home visitor in Southern Alberta for over ten years. I am also pleased to serve as the Program Manager for South Region Parents as Teachers.

Every family we visit with has unique skills and strengths, hopes and dreams. Together we explore what works for them in the challenges of everyday parenting while keeping an eye on goals they have for their children, their family and themselves.

All our parent home visitors receive specialized training and support to deliver customized home visits to families with children 0-6 years
of age. I am proud to be part of a team of individuals committed to supporting families during the crucial early years of children's lives.

The Parents as Teachers home visiting model and materials are proven, evidence-based, and grounded in solid science. Parents can confidently put their trust in Parents as Teachers.

Hi, my name is Desiree, I am excited to be a Home Visitor with Parents as Teachers delivering personal home visits in the Palliser and Livingstone Range school district areas. I am a proud mother of two wonderful children, and have enjoyed a fulfilling career as a Child and Youth Care Worker. One of Parents as Teachers core values is that parents are their child's first and most influential teachers, and I fully believe this as well.

I know that being a parent can be the most rewarding and amazing experience, but it definitely comes with its challenges as well. Parents as Teachers offers so much research based information and support for parents, and I am proud to deliver the information to families. I love connecting with families and helping guide parents along their parenting journey, I look forward to meeting new people and can't wait to pass along the great materials PAT has to offer.

Please contact the main office at 403-320-5983 for more information on service for families in the Coalhurst and Fort Macleod areas.

My 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.

"Hi! My name is Lorry. I am a wife and mother, first and foremost. I live in Vauxhall with my family. I previously worked with Parents as Teachers from 2008 - 2012. After a break to focus on my family, I am excited to return to Parents as Teachers to provide support, information and resources for families in the Taber area of Southern Alberta.

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."

Hi my name is Kathleen. I was raised in Southern Alberta and am very happy to have moved back to Lethbridge with my husband and little dog.

I have enjoyed working with families and their children in different capacity’s for the past 18 years. I recently became certified as a Home Visitor.

I believe that parents are their child’s first and most influential teachers. This journey of parenting, while rewarding, can be challenging at times. I count it as a privilege to join parents in this journey and be able to provide information on their child’s development and resources in the community to help meet the needs of their family.

My name is Melissa and I am very excited to join the Parents as Teachers Team in Lethbridge. I am a wife and mom to boy/ girl twins. I love what Parents as Teachers offers to parents and their families and I cannot wait to share it with everyone.

Being a parent is not always easy. We are presented with new challenges, as well as rewards, each and every day. As a home visitor, I am excited to support families through the challenges and celebrations of their children's early years. Together we will ensure you, as a parent, and your children realize your full potential.
