Kirksville Early Childhood Learning Center has Parents as Teachers base as an additional resource.

Parents as Teachers (PAT)

PAT is a voluntary parent education program for families with children ages birth to five. A trained parent educator provides home visits with families to promote early learning, knowledge and understanding of important developmental milestones. Periodic screenings increase parents’ understanding of their children’s developmental progress, as well as inform them of any possible delays. Early intervention for identified concerns helps improve school readiness for young children. PAT program works closely with the ECLC to provide quality programs for all families. Services include personalized home visits, group meetings with other families, developmental and sensory screenings, a network of community resources and services designed for families of young children. Please contact the school office at (660) 626-1459 for more information.
