Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
Parents as Teachers - Born to Learn was rated by the CEBC in the area of Home Visiting. Parents as Teachers - Born to Learn is an early childhood parent education, family support, and school readiness model based on the premise that “all children will learn, grow, and develop to realize their full potential.” The model provides personal visits carried out by professional staff trained and certified in use of the Born to Learn curriculum, which draws heavily on the science of child development, including brain development. Other required model components are group meetings to foster social networks and regular health and developmental screenings, with referral to a community resource network if needed.
