Our core trainings are designed for professionals who will return to their communities ready to implement a PAT program, either as a stand-alone program or as part of another early childhood program such as Early Head Start, Healthy Families or Even Start. Each core training focuses on personal visits, group meetings, screenings, community resources, as well as child development and parenting information. All participants who satisfactorily complete any core training are certified as PAT parent educators.
Sessions are taught by highly experienced trainers who come from education, human development or social service backgrounds and are actively involved in PAT programs.
The Parents as Teachers National Center offers Institutes throughout the United States on an ongoing basis, and on-site by special arrangement for groups of 12 or more.
