Parents as Teachers (PAT) – Rhode Island State Parent Information Resource Center
Parents As Teachers (PAT) believes that parents are their children’s first and best teachers. PAT is a home visiting program designed to provide all parents of children from before birth to age three with the information and support they need to give their child the best possible start in life. These services are without charge and are provided by trained and certified parent educators. Parents can learn to help their children with a solid foundation for school success, understand child development, and promote strong family relationships. Parents will also have a means for early detection and treatment of potential learning problems. Join other parents in playgroups, parent group meetings and learn the importance of play for parents and children. Any parents interested in becoming involved in this fun and rewarding program may join.
