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.
