Family Resource Center of Sheboygan County

Your baby was born to learn and as your child’s first teacher, you make a difference! Parents as Teachers can help you make that difference. Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a home visitation program for Sheboygan County parents which uses research-based information to help you and your baby make the most of the early years. Parents as Teachers is a free, voluntary program that supports parents, answers your questions, increases your parenting skills, and helps provide early detection of any potential developmental delays and health issues in your child.

HOME VISITS
Trained, certified, friendly Parent Educators live and work in the community and can’t wait to support you at the beginning of your child’s life! Even better, they’ll come to you—working around your weekday schedule to find the most convenient time and place to meet. Regular visits happen at least monthly, last about an hour, and include play-based activities that are fun for your baby and informative for you as a parent. During these visits, Parent Educators also provide helpful information about age appropriate parenting skills and ideas for activities that strengthen developmental skills—including language, thinking, and movement. Your Parent Educator can answer your questions, provide information, connect you to resources, and support you as a parent.
