Parents as Teachers
WKO partners with Southern Reynolds County R-II School district to provide an early-child Parent as Teachers (PAT) program. Our PAT program matches parents and caregivers with a trained Parent Educator who makes regular personal home visits during a child’s earliest years in life, from prenatal through kindergarten.
The national Parents as Teachers program is known to increase the literacy and school success of young children. But we now know that school success also requires a focus on the health of young children, their parents and siblings. Through WKO’s PAT program, Parent Educators conduct child screenings, which serve a critical role in the early detection of developmental delays and health problems, and recommend appropriate learning activities and other resources for the family to foster their child's skills and development.
