Hurley R-1
Parents as Teachers
Superintendent – Doug Arnold
Principal – Kelli Alumbaugh
Parent Educator & Supervisor – Mary Carlson Hurley Parents as Teachers is now enrolling for the 2012-2013 school year. All
parents expecting a baby or who have children up to pre kindergarten age are
encouraged to enroll. PAT is a free and fun program designed to give parents
an understanding of how young children grow and learn during the most crucial
years of life, where more is learned than any other time of their lives. Children
are born to learn, and PAT can assist parents in being the best first teachers
for their children. Kids do not come with an instruction manual, but Parents as Teachers provides
the next best thing. Mary Carlson visits families at home or at the Hurley Early
Childhood Center. The program helps parents feel more confident about their
care giving skills, teaching them how to better interact with their children,
and connecting them to community resources that serve families. PAT also
provides screenings to identify developmental problems early. PAT believes
that early interventions can help give all children an equal start in school.
PAT Vision: All children will learn, grow, and develop to realize their
full potential.
PAT Mission: To provide the information, support, and encouragement patents
need to help their children develop optimally during the crucial early years
of life.
Research shows that children whose families have been in PAT are better
prepared and have greater success in school. Help your child be ready and enroll
today. For more information please call:
