PARENTS AS TEACHERS

Parents as Teachers (PAT) program provides education and support to families from pregnancy through age 5. Parents are supported by PAT certified parent educators trained to translate scientific research on early brain development into specific when, what, how, and why information for families. By understanding what to expect during each stage of development, parents can easily capture the teachable moments in everyday life to enhance their child's language development, intellectual growth, social development, and motor skills. Home and personal visits available to meet the individual needs of each family. Call the PFRN to schedule your first visit: 860-793-6304


TURNING THREE

The Pre-K Developmental Screening is offered to all Plainville children ages 3 to 5. It is an opportunity for parents to have their child observed by the Early Childhood Team to insure that development is progressing smoothly. Parents are invited to share any concerns that they may have regarding their child's development. Our professional team can offer information to assist parents in determining how to best meet their child's needs. Staff members will be available to discuss the screen and our continuum of services. Information about school and community resources will also be provided. For additional information, contact your neighborhood school.
