Testimonials:

The Parents as Teachers program is fantastic!   Both my daughters really look forward to the home visits with a parent educator, as they always learn a new activity that is not only fun and engaging, but educational at the same time. The parent educator has taught me how to incorporate, stimulating, developmentally appropriate activities into our everyday life by turning common house hold items and tasks, from laundry to junk mail to dried pasta, into an opportunity to play and learn. Every family should take advantage of this incredible FREE resource!   Telluride, CO
