Parents as Teachers Home Visits for Reading Families With Young Children
CHOR Youth & Family Services runs Parents as Teachers in Reading, a home visitation program in which a trained Parent Educator visits your home to support your child's early learning and your family's well-being.
It is for families expecting or parenting children from birth through kindergarten.
The Parent Educators have backgrounds in Early Childhood Education, Human Services, or related fields, and the program is evidence based.

Bilingual staff are available to serve Spanish-speaking families.
