Parents as Teachers is a free, voluntary, research-based program designed to provide practical timely information to all families including single parents, first-time parents and expectant parents.
It is offered through the USD 230 school district and is sponsored by the
Southeast Kansas Educational Service Center - Greenbush.
Being a parent is a lot more fun and much less stressful if:
- you know how your child grows and develops
- you know how to encourage your child so he will get a great start in life
- you share experiences and receive support from other families who have a child the same age as yours
Vision
All children will learn, grow and develop to realize their full potential
