Dear Parents as Teachers "I just wanted to say thanks. I made my first personal visit using the new Parents as Teachers Foundational materials. Yes, it took more time to prepare but it did make me focus more on the individual family I was about to see. The visit was strange at first. I have been seeing this family for more than a year, but today we reached a new level in our partnership. It was great!

Thank you Parents as Teachers."
