Welcome to the Parents As Teachers program at Southern Boone Elementary R-1 Schools.  PAT recognizes the vital importance of a child’s early learning experiences.  SoBoCo R-1 District provides a full range of services from prenatal to school age children to help them be ready to enter kindergarten with confidence and success.  PAT is designed for families with various amounts of experience, education, and income.  The program is free and open to ALL families in the school district.

 

Components of the SoBoCo PAT program are numerous.  Personal home visits are offered throughout the school year to every enrolled family with birth to age three children.  During this time, a certified parent educator will provide information on growth and development.  Periodic screenings of your child’s development with hearing, vision, and health checks are also provided to assess general progress and development.

 

Group Meetings, Little Eagle Readers, and Drop-in and Play sessions are also offered during the school year to share experiences and resources, listen to guest speakers, and gather information on a variety of parenting topics.  These events are held in the PAT resource room in the Primary Building.  This is a great opportunity for you to network with other parents and let your child become familiar with the school environment before entering kindergarten.
