Parents as Teachers is a free, evidence-based home visiting program for families with children ages 0–5, helping parents and caregivers support their children’s health, safety, and success in kindergarten and beyond
HELPING FAMILIES BUILD STRONG FOUNDATIONS
Every child deserves a strong start and every parent deserves support along the way. Our certified Parent Educators work with families from pregnancy through age 5, providing personalized support based on each family’s needs.
Today, United Way of El Paso County along with our community partners funds Parents as Teachers, allowing the program to continue serving El Paso families at no cost to them.
Because when parents have the support they need, children have a stronger foundation to learn, grow, and thrive.
