Getting Ready for School Begins at Birth: How to Help Your Child Learn in the Early Years
Children are born ready to learn. Children are naturally curious beings who are motivated to make sense of the world around them. The brain is the only organ that is not fully formed at birth. During the first 3 years, trillions of connections between brain cells are being made. A child’s relationships and experiences during the early years greatly influence how her brain grows. Children learn best through their everyday experiences with the people they love and trust, and when the learning is fun. This booklet is designed to help parents prepare their children for later learning in a fun and appropriate way.

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.

PAT Update: Parents as Teachers Curriculum and The Foundations of Literacy
The foundations of literacy are laid in the veryearliest years of a child's life……long before encountering the formal educational setting of kindergarten. Parents and other caregivers greatly influence the child's attitudes about reading and writing, as well as development of skills related to later reading and writing proficiency. The opportunities for positive impact are great. With the right information and encouragement, parents can provide experiences that will lay a solid foundation upon which strong literacy can be built when the child arrives at the school doors. By building trusting relationships with parents, and providing them reliable research-based information in the informal atmosphere of the personal visit, playgroups, and group meetings PAT meets parents “where they are” and gives them what they want and need to give their children the best start in life. This information brief provides information on the effectiveness of the Parents as Teachers curriculum and how participation leads to literacy.
