 Parents as Teachers helps organizations and professionals work with parents during the critical early years of their children's lives, from conception to kindergarten—and the results are powerful.
We develop curricula. Grounded in the latest research, Parents as Teachers develops curricula that support a parent’s role in promoting school readiness and healthy development of children. Our approach is intimate and relationship-based. We embrace learning experiences that are relevant and customized for the individual needs of each family and child. As a result, individuals and organizations who use our curricula benefit from our understanding of the evolving needs of today’s families and children. We train professionals.

We stand on the corner of Argonne and Taylor on Tuesdays from 6-7 p.m. Eliot members wear church T-shirts, but others should feel free to wear T-shirts representing their church or neighborhood if they wish. Our signs say: "We stand with Ferguson" and "Black Lives Matter". So far, we have had many people honk, wave and give thumbs up in support. Join us!
