The Family Center

Parent Education: We offer workshops for parents of kids 0-18 years on a range of topics from toddler tantrums all the way to the tricky teen years.  In connection with our extensive parenting library, we read and discuss topics of interest that help support your important role as a parent.
 
Parents as Teachers: This is a free program for parents of children prenatal through kindergarten entry.  A parent educator will visit with you either in your home or at the Family Center to discuss parenting questions or concerns you may have, offer community resources and share developmental information to prepare you for upcoming developmental milestones.  PAT also offers an annual development screening.
