Collaborative for Children’s “Parents as Teachers” program helps families nurture school readiness from the start, right from the comfort of home.
The “Parents as Teachers” program is a free, at home early childhood education service for families in Harris County (Houston area) with children ages 0–4. Our well-trained parent educators use a nationally recognized curriculum to help families:
– Understand their child’s developmental milestones
– Learn fun, brain-building activities for pre-K children
– Strengthen the parent-child bond through play and learning
– Set your family goals and get access to local resources
This program is more than just parenting advice—it’s a proven way to help children get an early head start before they enter preschool.
Our approach is built on our “Parents as Teachers” Home Visiting Model, which includes:
– Monthly home visits by trained specialists
– Personalized learning plans based on your child’s needs
– Free developmental screenings to track progress
– Group learning sessions with other families
We combine expert guidance with hands-on activities to help children build early literacy, math, and social-emotional skills.
Our program follows thorough practices, including:
– Certified parent educators trained in early childhood development (ECE)
– Evidence-based curriculum approved by national early education organizations
– Confidential, respectful, and culturally responsive parent-teacher
Parents are a child’s first teacher and their most important one. We equip families with the tools, confidence, and support to create nurturing, curiosity-driven environments at home. In this mini-episode, hear how we help parents become powerful partners in their child’s learning journey.
