California PIRC's Early Childhood Education program focuses on providing parents with tools and strategies to increase school participation and involvement.
Parent educators…

• Help parents learn about their child’s developing brain and how to engage their children in age-appropriate activities
• Engage the family in activities to provide meaningful parent-child interaction
• Provide opportunities to share information with other parents

Parents As Teachers (PAT)

Parents are supported by PAT certified parent educators trained to translate scientific information on early brain development into specific when, what, how and why advice for families. By understanding what to expect during each stage of development, parents can easily capture the teachable moments in everyday life to enhance their child's language development, intellectual growth, social development and motor skills.
 
As a PAT family, you receive:

. Personal visits                          
. Parent group meetings                         
. Screenings                            
. Resource network

The Teen classes address these and other topics…

· Problem Solving and Goal Setting
