PAT helps to establish positive partnerships between home, school and the community and plays a vital role in supporting families and children from the very beginning toward school readiness. A trained parent educator provides home visits with families to promote early learning, knowledge and the understanding of important developmental milestones. Periodic screenings increase parents’ understanding of their children’s developmental progress, as well as inform them of any possible delays. Early intervention for identified concerns helps improve school readiness for young children. This evidence-based early childhood program is designed to offer regularly scheduled family personal visits, annual developmental screenings, monthly group connections and access to a network of resources. These components are integral in supporting and preparing children, families, schools and communities toward school readiness. The PAT program provides opportunities to assist families with a smooth transition into preschool and kindergarten. Once your registration has been received, an early childhood teacher will contact you to schedule a session that fits your schedule. </p><p>If you have any questions about Parents as Teachers, Call (651) 982-8318.</p>Behavior Assistance Technical Supporthttp://forestlake.ce.eleyo.com/course/ecfe/6806/2023-2024-early-childhood/behavior-assistance-technical-support2023-07-03T00:01:00-05:00<p>The Behavior Assistance Technical Support (BATS) team is a voluntary program offered to childcare and early learning centers who are looking for behavioral support for students that are struggling.
