What is P.A.T.?

Home Visiting Program

Parents as Teachers is a free parent education and support home visiting program for expectant parents and families with children from birth to age three living in the West Aurora district. The program empowers parents or guardians with information, guidance, and encouragement to support their child’s learning, growth, and development during the most critical early years.

We embrace the complexity, curiosity, diversity, and joy of learning as essential parts of early childhood development. Rooted in research and respect for diverse cultures, Parents as Teachers creates welcoming, safe, and trusting relationships that engage and empower families. By partnering with parents or guardians, children’s first and most influential teachers, we help build a strong foundation for a lifelong love of learning across home, school, and community.
