​Parents as Teachers


Results


The goal of every community is to have as many children as possible experience positive outcomes, or resiliency. Child outcomes can be thought of as a scale with positive experiences that promote health and development on one side and negative experiences, or risk factors that derail healthy development in those early years and contribute to challenges and problems for children, families and communities down the road on the other side.  

Participation in programs such as Parents as Teachers offers significant effectiveness factors that can make a difference for children including improved health and development and a strong foundation for success in school.  In fact, children who participate in Parents as Teachers are more advanced at age three in language, social development, problem-solving and other cognitive abilities. 

Here is some of what our participants recently had to say:


  • “[My home visitor] has been one of the biggest supports in our lives. She has helped me gain confidence in being the best mom for my baby. She helped me establish strong routines early such as reading at bedtime when she was small. I feel stronger in coping with challenges with sleep, eating, tantrums, and transitions. I never feel overwhelmed in parenting because I know I can reach out to [her] without any judgement. I am so thankful for this program and for [her] support.”
  • “It is reassuring to have someone come alongside you and encourage you as a parent. I've been parenting for fifteen years, so it can be hard to admit that it's a struggle at times. The last 1.5 years we have seen the impact of our child's health issues on our whole family, my home visitor has directed me to resources, as well as provided a safe place to talk.”
  • “I love how non-judgmental and supportive she is.  I really value that she validates the struggles of parenting and normalizes some of the struggles…. I also love the flexibility the program provides… if I request resources or ideas, she is quick to pivot based on our family’s needs.”
