• Parents As Teachers

During the first few years of life, children learn more and at a faster pace than at any other time.

RiverStone Health’s Parents as Teachers helps equip adults for the hard work of being a parent. Through free visits by a trained parent educator, parents become deeply engaged in their children’s early learning, more confident as parents and better connected to community resources.

The Parents as Teachers model has been proven to help parents develop the skills to raise children who grow up healthy and ready for a strong start in life and greater success in school.

As a parent, you set the agenda for each visit with the parent educator. Because you set the agenda for visits, you get the parenting support you need, when you need it.  The information shared is well-researched and will help you make parenting decisions.

By participating in Parents as Teachers, you also build connections to other parents, who learn and support each other. Regular screenings make sure your child is healthy and on track.
