Missouri Parents as Teachers

Missouri Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a community-based program that supports early childhood development by providing parents with education, resources, and guidance. Trained home visitors work with parents of young children, typically from birth to age five, to promote healthy growth, learning, and positive parenting skills. The program focuses on strengthening families, enhancing children's school readiness, and connecting families to community resources. It aims to empower parents to nurture their child's development and build a strong foundation for lifelong success.
