Families who qualify receive home visits twice a month with a PAT certified parent educator. In addition, parent workshops, parent-child days, developmental screenings, a lending library, and a newsletter are offered to families living in the Springfield School District.
Teen Parents as Teachers is a parent education program for pregnant and parenting teens residing in the Springfield School District.
