Hello, my name is Rose. I am pleased to serve as the program manager for South Region Parents as Teachers.
Every family we visit has unique skills and strengths, hopes and dreams. Together we explore what works for you in the challenges of everyday parenting while keeping an eye on the goals you have for yourself, your children and your family. All our parent home visitors receive specialized training and support to deliver customized home visits in-person and/or virtually (by video conferencing or phone) anytime during pregnancy or in the crucial early years of children's lives. The Parents as Teachers (PAT) home visiting model and materials are evidence-based and grounded in developmental science. PAT is a world leader in home visitation. The PAT model is the most widely replicated, evidence-based home visiting model in the world. Parents can confidently put their trust in Parents as Teachers programs. |

Hi, my name is Desiree, I am excited to be a home visitor with Parents as Teachers delivering personal home visits in Coalhurst and area as part of the South Central Family Resource Network. 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, Coaldale, Fort Macleod and 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 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." |
My name is Melissa and I am very excited to be part of 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.

Hi! My name is Nancy. After teaching Grade 2 and then having the privilege of home educating my own children for a few years, I have the distinct understanding that parents are not only their child’s first teacher, but also the most invested one.
I’m here to collaborate with you to identify your strengths, provide you with resources and assist you to set goals to help you be confident in your parenting choices while helping you overcome challenges we all face as parents.
I look forward to serving the families in the Pincher Creek area as we learn and grow together in this journey called parenting!

Hi 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!

Hi! My name is Mirjam and I am excited to be a part of South Region Parents as Teachers and support families in the Crowsnest Pass.
I am a mother of 2 and have experiences working in the education system and working with families in the Crowsnest Pass area.
So much happens in the early years of a child’s development and being a parent comes with big rewards but can also feel overwhelming at times.
Parents as Teachers offers great resources and I am here to support and empower parents in their skills and confidence by working together on exploring and identifying challenges and strengths and setting achievable goals. I also emphasize and advocate the importance of self care. You don’t have to do this alone.
I am excited to work with families and support and encourage them in their ever changing journey as a parent.
