Parents as Teachers

During the home visit, Parent Educators will assess your family’s needs and partner with you to set family goals.
Parent Educators share child development information and ideas based on the child’s age and discuss parent concerns to ensure that parents are confident in the emotional, behavioral and physical development of their children.

Each Home Visit will focus on three areas:

• Increasing a parent’s knowledge of their child’s development to enhance interactions.
• Increasing a parent’s awareness and skill to implement responsive parenting behaviors.
• Enhancing a parent’s ability to use personal resources and build social connections.

• Serving more families and expanding zip codes in southwest Atlanta. Since the program’s inception in 2018, F-PAT parent educators have mentored more than 165 families, helping parents to achieve their children’s optimal health and key childhood developmental milestones.
• Successful home visitations: The F-PAT team completed 412 home visitations in 2019-20.
• Program growth: F-PAT is expanding its home visitations and serving more families in Atlanta who reside in these zip codes: 30310, 30311, 30318, and newest zip codes: 30313, 30303 and 30314.
