| FAMILY SUPPORT
The Caswell County Partnership for
Children works with many different local agencies who provide
services to children and families. The Partnership also works to
identify needed programs and services as well as resources to meet
those needs.
The Parents As Teachers Program
The Parents As Teachers (PAT)
program, is a free parent education
and family support program.
The program is
based on the National Parents As Teachers model serving families
throughout pregnancy until age 3.
Parents are supported by certified parent educators trained to
translate scientific information on early brain development into
specific when, what, why and how advice for families. By
understanding what to expect during each stage of development,
parents can easily capture the teachable moments in everyday life to
enhance their child's language development, intellectual growth,
social development and motor skills.
As A PAT family, You receive:
* Personal visits - during which your parent educator will
share age-appropriate development and parenting information, help
you learn to better observe your child, and address your parenting
questions and concerns.
* Parent Group Meetings - which are opportunities to share
information about parenting issues and child development. Parents
learn and support each other, observe their children with other
children, and practice parenting skills.
* Screenings - to assess your child's overall development.
* Resource networking - that links your family to other
community services.
