About PAT

Children come into this world ready for love and learning.  You are your child's first and most influential teacher.  But your baby was not born with directions!  Parents as Teachers (PAT)  informs, supports, and encourages parents like you in this important role.  PAT has a vision that all children will grow and develop to reach their full potential.  Through PAT, you will partner with a parent educator focused on your child's healthy growth and development.  Ladue's program offers personal visits with your parent educator, screenings and group meetings.  Together, you will discuss goals for you as a parent and for your child, building on your strengths and skills.
