PARENTS AS TEACHERS
The National Parents as Teachers Organization believes:
- The early years of a child’s life are critical for optimal development and provide the foundation for success in school and in life.
- Parents and caregivers are their children’s first and most influential teachers.
- Established and emerging research is the foundation for caregiver and family support curricula, training, materials, and services.
- All young children and their families deserve the same opportunities to succeed, regardless of any demographic, geographic or economic considerations.
- An understanding and appreciation of the history and traditions of diverse cultures is essential in serving families.
