Parents as Teachers (PAT)

A district- and state-funded program, Ladue Parents As Teachers (PAT), is a free program offering practical assistance to parents and children from birth to five years of age. PAT provides individualized information and guidance to parents not only to enhance their children’s language, social, and motor development, but also to make parenting more rewarding and less stressful. PAT also offers screening to families with three-, four- and five-year-olds. The program is open to all district residents and includes the following:

• Personal visits with state-certified parent educators with children in the prenatal to 5-year range (not entering kindergarten).
• Developmental screening is offered to children 3-5 years of age.
• Developmental resource materials will be included with each personal visit and screening.
• Parent group meetings will be offered throughout the school year.

There are many benefits to the Parents As Teachers Program; please contact the Ladue Early Childhood Center at (314) 993-5724 or enroll online today.
