PAT Update: Where Does a Good Start in School Begin?

For those of us working with children and families, the idea that there is a particular point in time when one is “ready to learn” doesn't ring true to our experience. We know that learning begins at birth, if not before, and continues throughout one's life. PAT parent educators help parents understand the critical importance of these early years and suggest ways in which parents can maximize those windows of opportunity with fun every day activities, building the foundations so that when the child enters school she is still learning. PAT believes that a good start for school begins at birth. This information brief provides information for professionals on school readiness related to the PAT program.
