Why Join
As a parent, you are your child’s first teacher and your home is your child’s first classroom.
Your baby begins learning at birth. Brain growth and development happens more rapidly during the first five years of life then at any other time. Parents as Teachers can help you lay a strong foundation for your child’s future success in school and life.
PAT is offered at no cost to eligible parents within the Columbia Public School District. PAT is available throughout Missouri. Interested parents need to contact their “local” school district for information.
